Radio Erft

This is one of the quieter entries in Germany's listing, at 854 of 1,409. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

Three recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

Adult contemporary covers 11 of Germany's entries. Tags on this site are always the broadcaster's own first tag and never a second one, because a station tagged five ways would otherwise appear on five shelves and turn each of them into a tag cloud.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of Germany's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

Radio Erft streams from radioerft--di--nacs-ais-lgc--04--cdn.cast.addradio.de. No other station in Germany is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.

The broadcaster publishes at radioerft.de, on Germany's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
