Arrow Bluesbox Radio

Arrow Bluesbox Radio sits at 81 of 302 in the Netherlands' listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

At 128 kbps, this sits below most of the Netherlands' listing, whose median is 192 kbps. 77% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

The audio comes from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, and 32 other stations in the Netherlands are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of the Netherlands' listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

The broadcaster publishes at arrowbluesbox.nl, on the Netherlands' own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
