The directory lists six streams in Japan under this name, told apart by a number alone. This page is number eleven. Nothing here is taken from the other five.
Among the 88 stations in Japan with pages, NHK World Radio 11 is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.
The country page counts international among its commonest tags, and this station is one of the 15 entries in Japan behind that count. Worldwide the tag leads 39 stations, which makes the rail below a very wide shelf.
On the same tag worldwide it is 9 of 39, which is inside the top quarter of every international station the directory carries.
At 66 kbps, this sits below most of Japan's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 65% 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.
The stream is served from master.nhkworld.jp, an address six other entries in Japan use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

NHK World Radio 11 is one of 68 playable stations the catalogue lists in Japan, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by NHK World Radio 11. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at www3.nhk.or.jp.
Listed in the directory as NHK WORLD RADIO 11. The heading above is that entry with the web address, the trailing keyword list and the block capitals taken out of it, which is a change to the spelling and to nothing else.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
