Labgate Alternative Rock and Grunge

In Canada's ordering this is number 105 of 259, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The open count against Labgate Alternative Rock and Grunge is three, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

Labgate Alternative Rock and Grunge has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Canada on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

At 128 kbps the stream is on the better side of Canada's dial, where the median is 96 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

Its audio comes from s2.ssl-stream.com. Three 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.
