Radio 21 NRW

In Germany's ordering this is number 543 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.

Radio 21 NRW has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Germany on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

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.

The stream address on this entry points at streams.radio21.de, which is where 7 other stations in Germany are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.

Radio 21 NRW keeps its own site at nrw.radio21.de. The address sits under Germany's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
