Sportschau live: 1.Bundesliga / Spiel 7

Sportschau live: 1.Bundesliga / Spiel 7 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 one recorded open, Sportschau live: 1.Bundesliga / Spiel 7 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.

Sportschau live: 1.Bundesliga / Spiel 7 is the only station in Germany whose first tag is live sports, out of 1,409 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Germany does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only live sports station.

Its audio comes straight from wdr-sportschau-liga1spiel7.icecastssl.wdr.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.

The broadcaster publishes at sportschau.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.
