Мегаполис Торонто

This is one of the quieter entries in Canada's listing, at 259 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.

No opens have been recorded against Мегаполис Торонто in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

Russian does not make Canada's list of commonest broadcast languages, which the hub caps at six. A station like this one is invisible on its own country page's language chart and perfectly visible on the Russian shelf, which is the argument for having both.

Where else Russian is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. The shelf lists all 575 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

At 128 kbps the stream is on the better side of Canada's dial, where the median is 96 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.
