Fußball-Bundesliga: Spiel 1

Fußball-Bundesliga: Spiel 1 is one of six entries in Germany whose names are the same but for a number, and this one's number is one. A broadcaster numbering its streams like that is separating feeds, not stations, so read the number as the part that matters.

Fußball-Bundesliga: Spiel 1 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.

With one recorded open, Fußball-Bundesliga: Spiel 1 sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Germany's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

7 stations in Germany lead with football and Fußball-Bundesliga: Spiel 1 is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 9 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past Germany.

Its audio comes straight from wdr-sportschau-liga1spiel1.icecastssl.wdr.de, an address unique to this entry in Germany's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
