Is Radio Paradise the only free CD quality internet radio station?


Why are there not a wide variety of free CD quality internet radio stations today in 2020?

There must be a demand.

LOW REZ audio is crap!

Because streaming isn't really "free." In addition to the bandwidth and server expenses, there's also the need to pay music licensing royalties. It's not a question of demand, it's a question of revenue. 
There are a few more but I don’t care for their p/l’s.
I prefer Linn Jazz to RP.
Most radio doesn’t beget critical listening. If you hear something you like seek it out.
Radio is for background or approval.
There are quite a few.  I snagged this link quite a while ago (probably from a post here but I can't remember).

RP world station is just crushing it tonite. Funky Turkish DJ mix into Dr. John into Kashmir from No Quarter. Been like this for 2 hrs. Outstanding.

320 kbs also, as good as it gets for free (not certain of that but it's good quality). I think it's cd quality anyhoots.
