Radio Girmit Kannada

Radio Girmit Kannada sits at 297 of 565 in India's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

Language and country do not match up the obvious way here. Radio Girmit Kannada transmits from India, where Hindi leads the listing, and broadcasts in Kannada, which 14 of the country's stations use.

Kannada 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.

The directory carries no bitrate for Radio Girmit Kannada. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. India's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

Its audio comes straight from stream.radiojar.com, an address unique to this entry in India's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
