Z99 98.9 (CIZL)

Z99 98.9 (CIZL) is at 140 in a listing of 259. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

Two recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

Broadcasting in English, alongside most of Canada's other entries. The country page breaks the remaining five languages out with counts, which is usually a quicker read of who lives somewhere than any summary.

Pop rock is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Canada uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

At 48 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Canada's dial, whose median is 96 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

Its audio comes straight from rawlco.leanstream.co, an address unique to this entry in Canada's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
