Católica Cuenca 98.1 FM

Católica Cuenca 98.1 FM is at 44 in a listing of 75. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

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.

Católica Cuenca 98.1 FM is the only station in Ecuador whose first tag is catolica, out of 75 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Ecuador does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only catolica station.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where Ecuador's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

Its audio comes straight from radiohdstreaming.com, an address unique to this entry in Ecuador's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
