NRK P1 Vestfold

NRK P1 Vestfold sits in the tail of Norway's 66 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.

With one recorded open, NRK P1 Vestfold sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Norway's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

NRK P1 Vestfold streams in AAC+ while most of Norway's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

The stream is served from lyd.nrk.no, an address five other entries in Norway use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
