Bollybop

Bollybop is deep in New Zealand's listing, at 58 of 67. 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.

The directory records no opens at all for Bollybop. That is a fact about the directory rather than about the station: a stream nobody has opened through radio-browser can be perfectly healthy and well listened to on its own site or on a radio. It does mean this page is where the station's directory history starts.

Bollybop broadcasts in Hindi from New Zealand, where the directory records only two stations doing so. New Zealand's listing is otherwise led by English, so this is a genuinely unusual entry on its own national dial rather than one of a set.

The shelf for the language holds 239 stations, led by India. A station like this one broadcasting from New Zealand is what stops that shelf from being a second copy of one country's hub.

Bollybop streams from s3.radio.co. No other station in New Zealand is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears 17 times in total.
