Hitradio Namibia

Hitradio Namibia heads Namibia's listing here, ahead of 10 other stations from the country. The ordering is the directory's own record of how often each stream is opened, so this is a popularity signal rather than an editorial one, and it is the signal the country hub is built on.

A German station transmitting from Namibia is a rarity in this data: one of the country's entries carry that language, against a listing whose commonest is English. Combinations like this are the reason the site indexes language separately from country.

German radio in this directory sits largely in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with 2,099 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of Namibia's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

The stream is served from s37.derstream.net, which no other entry in Namibia 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.
