Empresa Pública de Comunicación del Ecuador

Empresa Publica de Comunicacion del Ecuador, also known as Comunica EP, is a state-owned entity headquartered in Ecuador. Established in 2020, the company operates with approximately 60 employees and reported $1.4M in revenue as of 2023. Functioning as a tier 3 media tech buyer, the company specializes in broadcast television and radio. Comunica EP is the official state-owned public media conglomerate of Ecuador, formed on 26 September 2020 by executive decree during a broader restructuring of the nation's public enterprise sector, succeeding the liquidated Medios Públicos EP and consolidating the state's communication assets under a streamlined operational framework. It is overseen by a board of directors closely aligned with the General Secretariat of Communication of the Presidency (Segcom) and governs the country's non-commercial media infrastructure. Its portfolio includes the public television network Ecuador TV, the national radio station Pública FM, and the digital multimedia news outlet El Telégrafo, which transitioned from Ecuador’s historic print newspaper into an entirely web-based publishing entity. Funded through a combination of state treasury allocations and institutional advertising revenue, Comunica EP operates as a public utility tasked with distributing cultural, educational, and civic content across the coastal, Andean, and Amazonian provinces of Ecuador.
