Radio24

Radio24 is one of two entries in Switzerland whose names are the same but for a number, and this one's number is twenty-four. A broadcaster numbering its streams like that is separating feeds, not stations, so read the number as the part that matters.

Radio24 broadcasts in Swiss German from Switzerland. That is a minority language on the national dial, where German leads, but not a small one: 28 stations in Switzerland in the directory carry Swiss German, which is a substantial second listing inside the first.

Swiss German is not large enough in this snapshot to have a shelf of its own here, so the station's only index is its country. Shelves are built from the directory's commonest broadcast languages and the line has to fall somewhere; below it, the country hub is the route.

Among 126 stations in Switzerland here, this is the only one that puts main first. The main rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

The audio comes from stream.streambase.ch, and 16 other stations in Switzerland 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 Switzerland's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
