Refuge Worldwide

Refuge Worldwide sits at 391 of 1,409 in Germany's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

The country's dial has two sizeable languages on it and this station is on the smaller one. 398 entries in Germany broadcast in English, against a listing whose commonest language is German.

The shelf for the language holds 5,984 stations, led by United States. A station like this one broadcasting from Germany is what stops that shelf from being a second copy of one country's hub.

Community radio covers 4 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.

Worldwide it ranks 6 among 50 community radio entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

Refuge Worldwide streams at 192 kbps, above Germany's median of 128 kbps. It sits with the 62% of the country's stations that reach 128 kbps or better, which is the line this site uses for a stream worth listening to properly rather than in the background.

Its audio comes from streaming.radio.co. One other station in Germany streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
