Bombay Beats Radio

Bombay Beats Radio ranks 23 among 565 stations in India. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

Bombay Beats Radio carries 102 recorded opens in the public directory, which puts it among the small group of streams that directory clients open constantly. Counts at this level are rare: the great majority of the 14,425 stations with pages here are in single or double figures.

The station's language is Hindi, the commonest of the six the directory records for India. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the Hindi shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.

At 256 kbps, Bombay Beats Radio streams at more than double India's median of 128 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

Its audio comes straight from strmreg.1.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.
