9/29 REC Statement: MX Group #27

Today, REC makes filings with the FCC that will help pave the way for a possible settlement in Los Angeles MX Group #27.   We are withdrawing all Informal Objections against four applicants, National Hispanic Media Coalition, Catalyst Long Beach, Prism Church of Los Angeles and Boyle Heights Art Conservatory. 

As we make these withdrawals, we also strengthen our objections against the gamesmanship that has taken place in this group by several applicants.  

With these four applicants along with the four MegaGroup applicants, we do feel that we can reach an agreement that the FCC will agree with even if it takes waivers.  The FCC also needs to come to bat and deal with the issues. 

If the FCC will take action on the Cesar Guel applications in Los Angeles, we can bring more applicants on board (and I am willing to work with the issues related to gamesmanship).  

Let's try to make this work.
