Radio Lippe

Radio Lippe sits in the tail of Germany's 1,409 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

With three recorded opens, Radio Lippe 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.

Broadcasting in German, alongside most of Germany's other entries. The country page breaks the remaining five languages out with counts, which is usually a quicker read of who lives somewhere than any summary.

The encode is 192 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of Germany's listing without being one of its outliers.

Its audio comes straight from radiolippe-live.cast.addradio.de, an address unique to this entry in Germany's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.

Their site is radiolippe.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.
