Waterland Radio (320k)

Waterland Radio (320k) 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.

Waterland Radio (320k) has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

Waterland Radio (320k) is the only station in the Netherlands whose first tag is various music, out of 302 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in the Netherlands does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only various music station.

At 256 kbps the stream is on the better side of the Netherlands' dial, where the median is 192 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.
