radiokeralam

radiokeralam is deep in India's listing, at 445 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.

radiokeralam broadcasts in Malayalam from India. That is a minority language on the national dial, where Hindi leads, but not a small one: 56 stations in India in the directory carry Malayalam, which is a substantial second listing inside the first.

Where else Malayalam is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly Bahrain. The shelf lists all 57 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

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.

radiokeralam streams in AAC while most of India's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.
