Rire et Chansons Canulars

Out of 710 entries in France, this one ranks 43. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

The directory counts 29 opens against this stream. That is well above France'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.

Two stations in France lead with the tag comedy, and Rire et Chansons Canulars is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

The audio comes from streaming.nrjaudio.fm, and 63 other stations in France are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of France's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

Their site is rireetchansons.fr, a domain registered in France. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
