NDR 1 Radio MV

In Germany's ordering this is number 831 of 1,409, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

With three recorded opens, NDR 1 Radio MV 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.

German is the station's language and the country's commonest, one of six Germany's listing records.

NDR 1 Radio MV streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where Germany's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 62% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

16 of Germany's entries are served from icecast.ndr.de, 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 ndr.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.
