Omroep Venray Radio

Omroep Venray Radio sits in the tail of the Netherlands' 302 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

The regional corner of the Netherlands' dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

The directory carries no bitrate for Omroep Venray Radio. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. the Netherlands' stations that do report come in at a median of 192 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The stream address on this entry points at nlpo.stream.vip, which is where 8 other stations in the Netherlands are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
