swisstamilradio

At position 451 of 565, this is one of the stations in India that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

Three recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

Broadcasting in Tamil from India, alongside 160 other stations there doing the same. Hindi is the country's commonest broadcast language in this directory, so this is the second shelf of a bilingual listing.

Where else Tamil is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly Canada, Singapore and Sri Lanka. The shelf lists all 169 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

swisstamilradio streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where India's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 61% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

The stream is served from usa19.fastcast4u.com, which no other entry in India uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
