fmgoldtamil

At position 424 of 565, this is one of the stations in India that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

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.

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.

The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.

The stream address on this entry points at air.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com, which is where 30 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.

fmgoldtamil and Akashvani Asmita Vahini FM are described by the directory in very nearly the same fields, which makes the differences between them worth stating rather than leaving to be inferred. The two streams are served from different addresses, air.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com for this one and airhlspush.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com for the other. The directory puts this stream at seventy-eight kilobits and the other at thirty-two.
