tamil-2021-latest-hits

Rank 351 of 565 in India. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

The country's dial has two sizeable languages on it and this station is on the smaller one. 161 entries in India broadcast in Tamil, against a listing whose commonest language is Hindi.

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.

At 128 kbps this is a typical stream for India by the one measure the directory carries.

The audio comes from stream.zeno.fm, and 108 other stations in India are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of India's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

tamil-2021-latest-hits and tamilrockyfm are described by the directory in very nearly the same fields, which makes the differences between them worth stating rather than leaving to be inferred. This entry is named for a number, twenty twenty-one, and the other is not. The two streams are served from different addresses, stream.zeno.fm for this one and centova71.instainternet.com for the other.
