Absolut bella

Absolut bella ranks 310 among 1,409 stations in Germany. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

Discofox+schlager is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Germany uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

Absolut bella streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where Germany's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 62% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

Its audio comes from absolut-bella.live-sm.absolutradio.de. One other station in Germany streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

Absolut bella keeps its own site at absolutradio.de. The address sits under Germany's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
