The Mixtape

This is one of the quieter entries in Canada's listing, at 201 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.

The open count against The Mixtape is one, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

The Mixtape is the only station in Canada whose first tag is hip-hop, 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 hip-hop station.

The encode is 128 kbps against a country median of 96. Comfortably above the middle of Canada's listing without being one of its outliers.

Its audio comes from eagle.streemlion.com. One other station in Canada streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
