CKTG-FM 105.3 "Country 105" Thunder Bay, ON

This is one of the quieter entries in Canada's listing, at 175 of 259. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

With one recorded open, CKTG-FM 105.3 "Country 105" Thunder Bay, ON sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Canada's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The country page counts country among its commonest tags, and this station is one of the 5 entries in Canada behind that count. Worldwide the tag leads 80 stations, which makes the rail below a very wide shelf.

The encode is 128 kbps against a country median of 96. Comfortably above the middle of Canada's listing without being one of its outliers.

This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.

Its audio comes from ais-sa1.streamon.fm. Five other stations in Canada stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
