OLI 968

OLI 968 sits in the tail of Singapore's 25 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

Tamil from Singapore, one of only two such entries the directory holds for the country. The national listing leads with English, which is what makes this worth pointing at.

Tamil radio in this directory sits largely in India, Canada and Sri Lanka, with 169 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

Melisten is one of Singapore's headline genres in this directory, and OLI 968 is one of 12 stations there leading with it. The country hub prints the same tag near the top of its own list, so this station sits inside the country's main sound rather than off to one side.

The audio comes from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, and 15 other stations in Singapore 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 Singapore's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
