At position 993 of 1,409, this is one of the stations in Germany that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.
Among 1,409 stations in Germany here, this is the only one that puts cultural first. The cultural rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.
The stream is encoded at 1061 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Germany. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.
Where Germany's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.
DW TV 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.
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.
Broadcast by DW TV. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at www.dw.com.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
Keep DW TV playing while you work
Streams like this one need a player that does more than a browser tab does. The Chrome extension carries 20,000+ stations, opens the formats a tab will not, and keeps playing while you get on with your work.
