hr1 Nordhessen

hr1 Nordhessen is one of three 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.

Position 530 of 1,409 puts this station in the middle of Germany's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

11 stations in Germany lead with adult contemporary and hr1 Nordhessen is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 126 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past Germany.

Worldwide it ranks 25 among 126 adult contemporary entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

28 of Germany's entries are served from dispatcher.rndfnk.com, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.

Their site is hr1.de, a domain registered in Germany. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
