Metro Stereo

This is one of the quieter entries in Ecuador's listing, at 57 of 75. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

This is a English station in a country whose directory presence is led by Spanish. Seven entries in Ecuador broadcast in English, which is a small group and a coherent one, and browsing it is a different experience from browsing the country.

English radio in this directory sits largely in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom, with 5,984 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

Two stations in Ecuador lead with the tag pop, and Metro Stereo is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.
