Big Fish 95.5FM

Position 4 of 5 in the Cayman Islands. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

Every entry the directory holds for the Cayman Islands has a small number of recorded opens, which makes the country's ranking noise rather than signal. Nothing is wrong with the data; there simply are not enough listeners passing through the public directory from this country for the count to mean much yet.

The stream is 128 kbps where the Cayman Islands' median is 192. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

Where the Cayman Islands' stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC+. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

Its audio comes straight from ice41.securenetsystems.net, an address unique to this entry in the Cayman Islands' 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.
