abinayamfm

This is one of the quieter entries in India's listing, at 504 of 565. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

With one recorded open, abinayamfm sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in India's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Broadcasting in Tamil from India, alongside 160 other stations there doing the same. Hindi is the country's commonest broadcast language in this directory, so this is the second shelf of a bilingual listing.

Tamil radio in this directory sits largely in Canada, Singapore and Sri Lanka, with 169 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

abinayamfm streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where India's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 61% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

The stream is served from usa11.fastcast4u.com, which no other entry in India uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
