KARNEVAL__ by rautemusik ( )

Position 816 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.

KARNEVAL__ by rautemusik ( ) is the only station in Germany whose first tag is carnaval, out of 1,409 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Germany does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only carnaval station.

KARNEVAL__ by rautemusik ( ) streams at 192 kbps, above Germany's median of 128 kbps. It sits with the 62% of the country's stations that reach 128 kbps or better, which is the line this site uses for a stream worth listening to properly rather than in the background.

Its audio comes from karneval-high.rautemusik.fm. One other station in Germany streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

The station's own site is rm.fm. The .fm domain has nothing to do with FM radio or with where a station is: it belongs to the Federated States of Micronesia and has been sold to broadcasters worldwide for years, so read it as branding rather than as a location.
