Cómplice FM 99.7 FM

Cómplice FM 99.7 FM sits at 21 of 75 in Ecuador's 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.

The open count against Cómplice FM 99.7 FM is four, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

Nothing else in Ecuador's listing leads with baladas en español. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

The gap here is large: 40 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.

The stream is served from dattavolt.com, an address six other entries in Ecuador use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
