ahoy

ahoy sits in the tail of Germany's 1,409 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

No opens have been recorded against ahoy in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

Broadcasting in German, alongside most of Germany's other entries. The country page breaks the remaining five languages out with counts, which is usually a quicker read of who lives somewhere than any summary.

The station's leading tag is alternative, shared with 18 other entries in Germany. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

ahoy streams from s37.derstream.net. No other station in Germany is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears two times in total.

The broadcaster publishes at ahoyradio.de, on Germany's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
