00s Alive

In the Netherlands' ordering this is number 94 of 302, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

the Netherlands' directory presence is led by Dutch, with 89 stations broadcasting in English behind it. 00s Alive is one of that second group, large enough that the country hub prints it as its own bar rather than folding it into a remainder.

Where else English is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. The shelf lists all 5,984 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

The gap here is large: 96 kbps where the Netherlands' stations typically run 192. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

The broadcaster's own site is alive.radio, on the .radio domain. That one is genuinely restricted: it is administered for the broadcasting industry and applicants have to show they are a broadcaster, which makes it a stronger signal than most addresses on these pages.
