Radio Caroline 319 Gold

Radio Caroline 319 Gold is one of two entries in the Netherlands whose names are the same but for a number, and this one's number is three hundred and nineteen. A broadcaster numbering its streams like that is separating feeds, not stations, so read the number as the part that matters.

Radio Caroline 319 Gold 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 open count against Radio Caroline 319 Gold is two, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

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 stream is served from happy.radiomonique.nl, an address two other entries in the Netherlands use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
