Empresa Pública de Comunicación del Ecuador

Empresa Publica de Comunicacion del Ecuador, also known as Comunica EP, is a state-owned entity headquartered in Quito, Ecuador. Established in 2020 by executive decree following a restructuring of the nation's public enterprise sector, the company employs approximately 60 individuals, reported $1.4M in revenue as of 2023, and functions as a tier 3 media tech buyer. The company specializes in broadcast television and radio, succeeding the liquidated Medios Públicos EP to consolidate state communication assets under a streamlined operational framework. Overseen by a board of directors aligned with the General Secretariat of Communication of the Presidency (Segcom), it 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 operates as an entirely web-based publishing entity. Funded through state treasury allocations and institutional advertising revenue, Comunica EP functions as a public utility tasked with distributing cultural, educational, and civic content across the coastal, Andean, and Amazonian provinces of Ecuador.
