Air Karaikal is deep in India's listing, at 505 of 565. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.
The country's dial has two sizeable languages on it and this station is on the smaller one. 161 entries in India broadcast in Tamil, against a listing whose commonest language is Hindi.
The shelf for the language holds 169 stations, led by Canada. A station like this one broadcasting from India is what stops that shelf from being a second copy of one country's hub.
Air Karaikal publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.
The stream address on this entry points at air.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com, which is where 30 other stations in India are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.

Air Karaikal is one of 571 playable stations the catalogue lists in India, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by Air Karaikal. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at akashvani.gov.in.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
