In this way, community radio unites its own characteristics that may be strengthened through the use of this digital platform, securing social cohesion and the audience participation in all daily tasks. Thus, this research revises the quantitative means of the principal parameters of integration and the use of this social network by community radio transmitters in the Andean Community of Nations (CAN) with the goal of establishing a comparative analysis between the countries it is made of.
