WDR 2 Südwestfalen

WDR 2 Südwestfalen 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.

Position 569 of 1,409 puts this station in the middle of Germany's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

WDR 2 Südwestfalen 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.

5 stations in Germany lead with local news and WDR 2 Südwestfalen is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 95 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past Germany.

Worldwide it ranks 20 among 95 local news entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

The stream is served from f121.rndfnk.com, an address one other entry in Germany uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
