5 Rivers radio

5 Rivers radio is at 165 in a listing of 466. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

This is a Hindi station in a country whose directory presence is led by English. Six entries in the United Kingdom broadcast in Hindi, which is a small group and a coherent one, and browsing it is a different experience from browsing the country.

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

320 kbps against the United Kingdom's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 69% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

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