Los 40 Ecuador

Out of 75 entries in Ecuador, this one ranks 7. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Los 40 Ecuador has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Ecuador on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

Nothing else in Ecuador's listing leads with música pop. 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.

Encoded as AAC, one of the three formats Ecuador's stations use. The country page breaks all of them out with counts.

Los 40 Ecuador streams from streamingecuador.com:7051. No other station in Ecuador is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.

Los 40 Ecuador keeps its own site at los40.com.ec. The address sits under Ecuador's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
