Himal Radio

Himal Radio is at 231 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.

The station's language is Hindi, the commonest of the six the directory records for India. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the Hindi shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.

At 72 kbps, this sits below most of India's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 61% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

Where India's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC+. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

The stream is served from streaming.webhostnepal.com, an address one other entry in India uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
