Gurbani Kirtan

Gurbani Kirtan is at 290 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.

This is a Punjabi station in a country whose directory presence is led by Hindi. 14 entries in India broadcast in Punjabi, which is a small group and a coherent one, and browsing it is a different experience from browsing the country.

There is no Punjabi 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.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with India's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

The stream is served from gurbanikirtan.radioca.st, which no other entry in India uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
