CKLZ-FM 104.7 "The Lizard" Kelowna, BC

CKLZ-FM 104.7 "The Lizard" Kelowna, BC is at 96 in a listing of 259. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

Mainstream rock is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Canada uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

The gap here is large: 48 kbps where Canada's stations typically run 96. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.

The stream is served from stream.jpbgdigital.com, an address five 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.
