This is one of the quieter entries in India's listing, at 464 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.

Two recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

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.

Where else Tamil is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly Canada, Singapore and Sri Lanka. The shelf lists all 169 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with India's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

The stream is served from bakthiisai-unicast2u.radioca.st, 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.
