WDR4 Münsterland

At position 1130 of 1,409, this is one of the stations in Germany that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

A oldies station on a dial where oldies is one of the commonest tags: 16 entries in Germany lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how Germany's broadcasters describe themselves.

At 102 kbps, this sits below most of Germany's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 62% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.

Its audio comes from wdr-radio.ard-mcdn.de. Five other stations in Germany stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
