98.5FM

Position 63 of 259 in Canada. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

With four recorded opens, 98.5FM sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Canada's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The talk & speech corner of Canada's dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

The directory carries no bitrate for 98.5FM. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. Canada's stations that do report come in at a median of 96 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

Its audio comes from playerservices.streamtheworld.com. Four other stations in Canada stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
