Tamil Sun FM

Out of 565 entries in India, this one ranks 57. 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.

The directory counts 32 opens against this stream. That is well above India's median and it is the reason the station sits where it does on the country list, since the ordering is the count and nothing else.

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.

The Tamil shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's Tamil entries are concentrated in Canada, Singapore and Sri Lanka. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

320 kbps against India's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 61% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.
