CBC Music sits at 85 of 259 in Canada's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.
CBC Music streams at 48 kbps against Canada's median of 96, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 46% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.
CBC Music publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.
The audio comes from cbcradiolive.akamaized.net, and 11 other stations in Canada are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Canada's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

CBC Music is one of 817 playable stations the catalogue lists in Canada, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by CBC Music. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at www.cbc.ca.
Listed in the directory as CBC Music - CBH-FM - CBN-FM - Atlantic - Halifax - NS - St. John's - NL - 102.7FM - 106.9 FM. The heading above is that entry with the web address, the trailing keyword list and the block capitals taken out of it, which is a change to the spelling and to nothing else.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
