FM Gold Mumbai

Out of 565 entries in India, this one ranks 64. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

At 27 recorded opens, FM Gold Mumbai is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

At 32 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on India's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.

The stream address on this entry points at airhlspush.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com, which is where 26 other stations in India are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
