Radio 90.5 FM

Radio 90.5 FM is at position 108 of the 565 stations in India with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

Broadcasting in Hindi, alongside most of India's other entries. The country page breaks the remaining five languages out with counts, which is usually a quicker read of who lives somewhere than any summary.

The gap here is large: 32 kbps where India's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

Radio 90.5 FM streams in AAC+ while most of India's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

The stream is served from ice42.securenetsystems.net, 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.
