SWR1 RP

SWR1 RP is at 564 in a listing of 1,409. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

SWR1 RP has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Germany on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with Germany's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

The stream address on this entry points at liveradio.swr.de, which is where 35 other stations in Germany are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.

Their site is swr.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.
