MetalRock.FM

This is one of the quieter entries in Canada's listing, at 190 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, MetalRock.FM 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 directory records no language for MetalRock.FM. That gap is common and it is upstream of this site: broadcasters fill the field or they do not, and roughly a third of the stations with pages here have left it empty. It means the station appears on its country hub and not on any language shelf, which is the one place the omission costs it.

The stream is 64 kbps where Canada's median is 96. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

AAC here, on a dial that carries three different formats. A mixed codec listing usually means a country whose stations are hosted in several different places rather than through one dominant provider.

MetalRock.FM streams from kathy.torontocast.com:1485. No other station in Canada is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.
