99.3 The Cat Radio

Among the 1,481 stations in the United States with pages, 99.3 The Cat Radio is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.

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.

A country station on a dial where country is one of the commonest tags: 30 entries in the United States lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how the United States' broadcasters describe themselves.

At 64 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on the United States' dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

AAC here, on a dial that carries three different formats. A mixed codec listing usually means a country whose stations are hosted in several different places rather than through one dominant provider.

The stream is served from cb.streamguys1.com, which no other entry in the United States uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
