Radio
Radio is an important part of community life in Ecuador, particularly in the rural regions where local stations are used to pass news and messages between villages. There are hundreds of such stations across the country, the majority broadcasting on AM, with a significant minority on shortwave frequencies. Religious broadcasting from evangelical Christians is also widespread and can be picked up across the country; the best known station, HCJB, features programmes and news in English and Spanish. With a shortwave radio, you'll also be able to pick up BBC World Service and Voice of America; you can check their frequencies and schedules on www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/schedules/frequencies/samefreq.shtml and www.voa.gov/allsked.html#E .
