Anurata_FM

This is one of the quieter entries in India's listing, at 462 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 two recorded opens, Anurata_FM 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.

Anurata_FM broadcasts in Tamil from India. That is a minority language on the national dial, where Hindi leads, but not a small one: 161 stations in India in the directory carry Tamil, which is a substantial second listing inside the first.

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.

Anuratafm is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in India uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

Its audio comes straight from stream-175.surfernetwork.com, 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.
