Out of 1,409 entries in Germany, this one ranks 217. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.
Pop is one of Germany's headline genres in this directory, and hr3 Rhein-Main is one of 39 stations there leading with it. The country hub prints the same tag near the top of its own list, so this station sits inside the country's main sound rather than off to one side.
On the same tag worldwide it is 52 of 343, which is inside the top quarter of every pop station the directory carries.
At 102 kbps, this sits below most of Germany's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 62% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.
hr3 Rhein-Main 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.

hr3 Rhein-Main is one of 3,099 playable stations the catalogue lists in Germany, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
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 hr3 Rhein-Main. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at www.hr3.de.
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.
