105.3 WJEN Cat Country

105.3 WJEN Cat Country sits at 845 of 1,481 in the United States' listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

With one recorded open, 105.3 WJEN Cat Country sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in the United States' list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

105.3 WJEN Cat Country shares its leading tag, bluegrass, with two other United States entries. Across every country the directory has 4 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

105.3 WJEN Cat Country streams at 96 kbps, under the United States' median of 128 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

The stream address on this entry points at ais-sa1.streamon.fm, which is where 10 other stations in the United States are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
