WDR 3 Klassik

One word in the name is ordinary German rather than branding: Klassik is classical. Worth a line for anyone reading a list of stations in a language they do not have.

WDR 3 Klassik sits at 570 of 1,409 in Germany's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

WDR 3 Klassik broadcasts in German, which is the language most of Germany's stations in the directory use. The country's listing records six languages in total, so the German stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

Tagged classical, along with 20 other stations in the country and 242 across the directory.

The stream is served from wdr-wdr3-klassik.icecast.wdr.de, which no other entry in Germany uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.

The broadcaster publishes at www1.wdr.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.
