Radio Quarantine Kolkata

Out of 565 entries in India, this one ranks 132. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Radio Quarantine Kolkata broadcasts in Bangla from India, and Bangla is not among the six languages the country's listing counts. That does not mean it is the only one: it means the country's Bangla stations are too few to reach the hub's own breakdown, which is the sharpest kind of minority entry this directory can record.

There is no Bangla shelf on this site: the language sits below the cut for one in the current snapshot. The country hub carries the station instead, which is the axis that covers every entry without exception.

128 kbps matches India's median almost exactly. Most stations cluster here because most of them are using the same handful of hosting providers with the same default settings.

Its audio comes straight from stream-173.zeno.fm, 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.
