CFIX "Rouge 96.9" Saguenay, QC

At position 157 of 259, this is one of the stations in Canada that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

Canada's directory presence is led by English, with 94 stations broadcasting in French behind it. CFIX "Rouge 96.9" Saguenay, QC is one of that second group, large enough that the country hub prints it as its own bar rather than folding it into a remainder.

The French shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's French entries are concentrated in France, Belgium and Switzerland. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

CFIX "Rouge 96.9" Saguenay, QC streams at 40 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.

The stream is served from 27033.live.streamtheworld.com, an address three other entries in Canada use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
