Radio Azad

Radio Azad is deep in India's listing, at 439 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 open count against Radio Azad is three, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

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.

320 kbps against India's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 61% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

The stream is served from usa2.fastcast4u.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.
