CHON-FM 98.1 Whitehorse, YT

At position 223 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.

The directory records no opens at all for CHON-FM 98.1 Whitehorse, YT. That is a fact about the directory rather than about the station: a stream nobody has opened through radio-browser can be perfectly healthy and well listened to on its own site or on a radio. It does mean this page is where the station's directory history starts.

The country page counts community radio among its commonest tags, and this station is one of the 6 entries in Canada behind that count. Worldwide the tag leads 50 stations, which makes the rail below a very wide shelf.

The stream is 73 kbps where Canada's median is 96. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

Its audio comes straight from stream.chonfm.com:8042, an address unique to this entry in Canada's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
