WDR 2 Rheinland

WDR 2 Rheinland is one of two entries in Germany whose names are the same but for a number, and this one's number is two. A broadcaster numbering its streams like that is separating feeds, not stations, so read the number as the part that matters.

WDR 2 Rheinland ranks 170 among 1,409 stations in Germany. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

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.

WDR 2 Rheinland streams from wdr-wdr2-rheinland.icecastssl.wdr.de. No other station in Germany is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.

Their site is www1.wdr.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.
