Among the 259 stations in Canada with pages, Maxradio.ca (Surround) is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.
The stream is encoded at 512000 kbps, more than twice the 96 kbps median for Canada. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.
The stream is MP4, which is unusual anywhere: Canada's listing is dominated by MP3. Formats outside the common three are typically a deliberate choice by a broadcaster who cares about the encoding chain, and they are also the ones most likely to give a browser trouble.
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 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.

Maxradio.ca (Surround) is one of 817 playable stations the catalogue lists in Canada, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by Maxradio.ca (Surround). Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at www.maxradio.ca.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
