The CANALSAT provider chose to name a channel "CANALSAT Radios" and 
assign different APIDs for the different radios. So, in one way, there 
is indeed uniqueness in the "radio" bouquet. In the real life, it's 
called a specific case. The radio name is provided by a user defined 
descriptor (0xc5) in the PMT data together within the APID description.

Note that there are many radio bouquets, all provided by CANALSAT or 
foreign subsidiaries.
