Sveriges Radio - P4 Plus

Sveriges Radio - P4 Plus sits in the tail of Sweden's 94 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.

Sveriges Radio - P4 Plus is the only station in Sweden whose first tag is 00s, out of 94 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Sweden does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only 00s station.

The stream is encoded at 280 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Sweden. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

The audio comes from live1.sr.se, and 20 other stations in Sweden are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Sweden's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
