WDR COSMO -- (https)

This is one of the quieter entries in Germany's listing, at 913 of 1,409. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

With three recorded opens, WDR COSMO -- (https) sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Germany's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

WDR COSMO -- (https) 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.

Among 1,409 stations in Germany here, this is the only one that puts diversity first. The diversity rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

The stream is served from wdr-cosmo-live.icecastssl.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.

WDR COSMO -- (https) keeps its own site at www1.wdr.de. The address sits under Germany's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
