Ankora Radio

Position 167 of 565 puts this station in the middle of India's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

Ankora Radio broadcasts in Bangla from India, and Bangla is not among the six languages the country's listing counts. That does not mean it is the only one: it means the country's Bangla stations are too few to reach the hub's own breakdown, which is the sharpest kind of minority entry this directory can record.

Bangla 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.

Pop covers 4 of India's entries. Tags on this site are always the broadcaster's own first tag and never a second one, because a station tagged five ways would otherwise appear on five shelves and turn each of them into a tag cloud.

On the same tag worldwide it is 48 of 343, which is inside the top quarter of every pop station the directory carries.

Its audio comes straight from stream-153.zeno.fm, an address unique to this entry in India'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.
