NPO Radio 2 is one of nine entries in the Netherlands whose names are the same but for a number, and this one's number is two. A broadcaster numbering its streams like that is separating feeds, not stations, so read the number as the part that matters.
At 43 recorded opens, NPO Radio 2 is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.
At 64 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on the Netherlands' dial, whose median is 192 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.
The audio comes from icecast.omroep.nl, and 15 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.
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 NPO Radio 2. Stream served directly by the broadcaster.
