LG73

LG73 is the only station in Canada whose first tag is great mix of classic hits, out of 259 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Canada does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only great mix of classic hits station.

512000 kbps against Canada's median of 96. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 46% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

An MP4 stream on a MP3 dial. The public directory records the format as the server reports it, and formats this far off the beaten track usually indicate somebody running their own encoder rather than a hosted service.

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.

The stream is served from maxradio.ca, an address one other entry in Canada uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
