Radio Canela Pichincha

Of the 75 stations in Ecuador with a page on this site, Radio Canela Pichincha is the one the directory records the most opens for. That makes it the default entry point to the country, and it is where the country hub starts its own list.

At 33 recorded opens, Radio Canela Pichincha is one of the streams that people actually reach through the public directory rather than through a station's own app. The count is the whole basis of the ranking on this site, and it is worth knowing that it measures directory traffic specifically.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

At 96 kbps, this sits below most of Ecuador's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 53% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

Its audio comes straight from canelaradio.makrodigital.com:9280, 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.
