GUP SHUP

GUP SHUP is deep in India's listing, at 472 of 565. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

The language on this entry does not appear in India's language breakdown at all. The hub counts the country's six commonest and Assamese is behind them, so GUP SHUP is outside the national picture on the axis the site indexes hardest.

There is no Assamese shelf on this site: the language sits below the cut for one in the current snapshot. The country hub carries the station instead, which is the axis that covers every entry without exception.

GUP SHUP streams at 96 kbps, under India's median of 128 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

Its audio comes straight from internetradio.gupshupradio.com:8080, 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.
