The station will now operate as a "music discovery service"
Based in New Delhi, community radio station boxout.fm has ended its broadcasts so that it can run as a streaming website.
After closing its physical station in February last year, boxout have now revamped their website so listeners can listen to mixes, interviews, podcasts, live sets as well as archived broadcasts.
"The purpose of this shift is to highlight the incredible richness of the boxout.fm archive," radio manager Ayesha Dikshit said in a press statement.

The station was originally launched as a party by Mohammed Abood, AKA DJ Mocity, which went on to become a label and now streaming site.
The boxout Wednesdays club night returned in March and is now held at New Delhi’s Auto Kitchen and Bar.
