Radio Mirchi Dubai

Out of 328 entries in the United Arab Emirates, this one ranks 16. 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.

Language and country do not match up the obvious way here. Radio Mirchi Dubai transmits from the United Arab Emirates, where English leads the listing, and broadcasts in Hindi, which five of the country's stations use.

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

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

The stream is served from eu8.fastcast4u.com, an address one other entry in the United Arab Emirates uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

The broadcaster's own site is eu8.fastcast4u.com. A .com address says nothing about where a station is, which is why the country on this page comes from the directory's own country field rather than from the domain.
