Nightride FM

In Germany's listing Nightride FM lands at 178 of 1,409, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

Nothing else in Germany's listing leads with outrun. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

The stream is encoded at 320 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Germany. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

The audio comes from stream.nightride.fm, and 7 other stations in Germany are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Germany's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

Nightride FM publishes at nightride.fm. Worth a note because .fm is a country domain that stopped meaning its country a long time ago: it is Micronesia's, and it is used by radio stations everywhere for the obvious reason.
