Smooth Jazz Deluxe

Smooth Jazz Deluxe is at position 20 of the 259 stations in Canada with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

The directory counts 21 opens against this stream. That is well above Canada's median and it is the reason the station sits where it does on the country list, since the ordering is the count and nothing else.

Smooth Jazz Deluxe is the only station in Canada whose first tag is acid jazz, 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 acid jazz station.

The stream is encoded at 320 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 served from cast1.torontocast.com:4490, which no other entry in Canada uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
