SWR3

The directory lists six streams in Germany under this name, told apart by a number alone. This page is number three. Nothing here is taken from the other five.

Held against the 1,409 stations in Germany on this site, this one is in the leading three. The order is the directory's count of stream opens rather than anybody's judgement, which is worth saying because a leading position on a list like this reflects habit as much as anything else.

With 402 opens recorded, this is one of the directory's heavily played streams. That is the strongest thing the public data says about any station, and it is still a measure of traffic through one directory rather than of audience.

News covers 8 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.

On the same tag worldwide it is 1 of 307, which is inside the top quarter of every news station the directory carries.

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.
