La Voz del Tomebamba 1070 AM

Rank 46 of 75 in Ecuador. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

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.

The latin music corner of Ecuador's dial is three stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

La Voz del Tomebamba 1070 AM streams at 32 kbps against Ecuador's median of 128, which is less than half the local norm. On a dial where 53% of stations reach 128 kbps, a rate this low stands out, and it usually means either a speech station that never needed more or an encoder that has not been touched in years.

Its audio comes straight from streamingecuador.net:8074, 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.
