The country's dial has two sizeable languages on it and this station is on the smaller one. 94 entries in Canada broadcast in French, against a listing whose commonest language is English.
The French shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's French entries are concentrated in France, Belgium and Switzerland. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.
Radio Canada Ici Première (Ottawa-Gatineau) Ottawa, ON streams at 48 kbps against Canada's median of 96, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 46% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.
Radio Canada Ici Première (Ottawa-Gatineau) Ottawa, ON publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.

Radio Canada Ici Première (Ottawa-Gatineau) Ottawa, ON 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 Radio Canada Ici Première (Ottawa-Gatineau) Ottawa, ON. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at ici.radio-canada.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.
