Radio Bhumi

Radio Bhumi is deep in India's listing, at 486 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 Bangla is behind them, so Radio Bhumi is outside the national picture on the axis the site indexes hardest.

Bangla is not large enough in this snapshot to have a shelf of its own here, so the station's only index is its country. Shelves are built from the directory's commonest broadcast languages and the line has to fall somewhere; below it, the country hub is the route.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of India's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

109 of India's entries are served from stream.zeno.fm, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
