CJAD 800

Out of 259 entries in Canada, this one ranks 21. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

At 20 recorded opens, CJAD 800 is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

Local news covers 4 of Canada's entries. Tags on this site are always the broadcaster's own first tag and never a second one, because a station tagged five ways would otherwise appear on five shelves and turn each of them into a tag cloud.

On the same tag worldwide it is 9 of 95, which is inside the top quarter of every local news station the directory carries.

At 48 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Canada's dial, whose median is 96 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

Its audio comes straight from 26113.live.streamtheworld.com, 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.
