Landeswelle Thüringen

Position 653 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.

Landeswelle Thüringen is the only station in Germany whose first tag is german pop, 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 german pop station.

No bitrate is recorded against this stream. It is a common gap: the value is scraped from the stream's headers and plenty of servers do not send them. Press play and your browser will tell you more in two seconds than the field would have.

Landeswelle Thüringen streams in AAC while most of Germany's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

Its audio comes from edge67.streamonkey.net. Two other stations in Germany stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
