Radio Ultimito Mix

At position 66 of 75, this is one of the stations in Ecuador that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

The open count against Radio Ultimito Mix is one, 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.

Three stations in Ecuador lead with the tag bachata, and Radio Ultimito Mix 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 96 kbps where Ecuador's median is 128. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

Its audio comes straight from usa4.fastcast4u.com, 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.
