Easy 96 Radio

Easy 96 Radio is at 144 in a listing of 565. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

Hindi is the station's language and the country's commonest, one of six India's listing records.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where India's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

Easy 96 Radio streams in AAC while most of India's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

Its audio comes from ice8.securenetsystems.net. Two other stations in India stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
