P6 Rock (MP3 128k)

In Norway's ordering this is number 40 of 66, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

With two recorded opens, P6 Rock (MP3 128k) 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.

The station's language is Norwegian, the commonest of the four the directory records for Norway. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the Norwegian shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.

The stream is 128 kbps where Norway's median is 159. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

Its audio comes straight from p6.p4groupaudio.com, an address unique to this entry in Norway's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.

Their site is p6.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.
