Among the 1,409 stations in Germany with pages, Die Sendung mit der Maus zum Hören is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.
The stream is 102 kbps where Germany's median is 128. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.
The format here is AAC, against a listing for Germany overwhelmingly made of MP3. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where AAC has the advantage at lower rates.
Die Sendung mit der Maus zum Hören publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.
The stream is served from wdrhf.akamaized.net, an address one other entry in Germany uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
Of everything the directory lists in Germany, the entry this page reads closest to is MDR Aktuell, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. The other entry records Saxony as its region, and the directory holds no region for this one. The two streams are served from different addresses, wdrhf.akamaized.net for this one and radio-hls.mdr.de for the other. The other entry carries the ard, halle, hörfunk, infowelle, leipzig, mdr aktuell, mdr info and mitteldeutscher rundfunk tags and this one does not. The broadcasters publish at different addresses of their own, wdrmaus.de and mdr.de.

These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
