Radio Canada Ici Première Quebec City, QC

Canada's directory presence is led by English, with 94 stations broadcasting in French behind it. Radio Canada Ici Première Quebec City, QC is one of that second group, large enough that the country hub prints it as its own bar rather than folding it into a remainder.

French radio in this directory sits largely in France, Belgium and Switzerland, with 1,384 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

Three stations in Canada lead with the tag radio publique, and Radio Canada Ici Première Quebec City, QC is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

Radio Canada Ici Première Quebec City, QC 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.

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.
