The Indie Beat Radio - Pop Channel

The Indie Beat Radio - Pop Channel sits in the tail of the United States' 1,481 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.

The United States carries nine German stations in the directory against a English majority. The Indie Beat Radio - Pop Channel is one of them, and the pairing of language and country is the fact that distinguishes it from the rest of the national list.

The German shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's German entries are concentrated in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

The Indie Beat Radio - Pop Channel is the only station in the United States whose first tag is alternative pop, out of 1,481 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in the United States does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only alternative pop station.
