J1 GOLD

At position 181 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.

With one recorded open, J1 GOLD 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.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

4 stations in Canada lead with 60s and J1 GOLD is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 46 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past Canada.

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.

The stream is served from jenny.torontocast.com:2000, an address two 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.
