NRK P2 aac_h

In Norway's listing NRK P2 aac_h lands at 10 of 66, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

The stream runs at 159 kbps, level with Norway's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

Where Norway's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC+. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

The stream address on this entry points at cdn0-47115-liveicecast0.dna.contentdelivery.net, which is where 14 other stations in Norway 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.

Their site is radio.nrk.no, a domain registered in Norway. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
