From 23:00 the station runs on soft melodies — மெல்லிசை — straight through to the five o'clock devotionals. The lights go down, the meters keep moving, and somewhere on the other side of the world it is the middle of the afternoon.

Scripts, request lists, cold coffee and a screen full of waveforms — the desk our presenters live at between songs.
