Radio Olive Kids

Radio Olive Kids is deep in India's listing, at 347 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.

Radio Olive Kids broadcasts in Hindi, which is the language most of India's stations in the directory use. The country's listing records six languages in total, so the Hindi stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

Radio Olive Kids streams at 64 kbps against India's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 61% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

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.

10 of India's entries are served from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, 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.
