Rundfunkautist

Rundfunkautist 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 two recorded opens, Rundfunkautist 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.

The station's language is German, the commonest of the six the directory records for Germany. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the German shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.

Only two entries in Germany put 00s first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

Rundfunkautist streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where Germany's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 62% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

Its audio comes straight from rundfunkautist.stream.laut.fm, 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.
