Tick Tock Radio - 1994

British Indian Ocean Territory carries one station with a page here. On a listing that size the ordering below matters less than the list itself, and the fastest way through it is simply to play each one.

Every entry the directory holds for British Indian Ocean Territory has a small number of recorded opens, which makes the country's ranking noise rather than signal. Nothing is wrong with the data; there simply are not enough listeners passing through the public directory from this country for the count to mean much yet.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

Its audio comes straight from streaming.ticktock.radio, an address unique to this entry in British Indian Ocean Territory'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.

The broadcaster's own site is ticktock.radio, on the .radio domain. That one is genuinely restricted: it is administered for the broadcasting industry and applicants have to show they are a broadcaster, which makes it a stronger signal than most addresses on these pages.
