REC Networks is anticipating a move of network infrastructure from REC West in Arizona to REC East in Maryland.

As a result, we anticipate an interrupted service period in the two week period between November 5 and November 20, 2011. We do not anticipate that the interruption will take the entire period.

During the interrupted service period:
- REC Broadcast Services (cdbs.recnet.com) will be offline.
- FMFIND.info will be offline.
- Individual consultation will not be available.
- J1 Radio will be operating in basic mode. (Scheduled programs, travel, weather and earthquake early warning will not be available)
- J1 Radio live playlist (Twitter) services will not be available.

Citing financial issues, Network of Glory, licensee of 5 NCEs in AR, GA, NE, OK and TN had requested a waiver from the FCC to broadcast commercial advertisements on the station.

In their request, they justify their waiver by claiming that they serve rural and underserved areas and that due to the "present economic climate in the United States" that has "placed a dire financial strain on many private and government funding agencies".

Their request asked for the following:
(1) Commercial advertisements would only be operated at the top of the hour,
(2) Commercial advertisements would not interrupt regular station programming, and
(3) any commercial announcements and their scheduling will be retained in the station's public inspection files for review and scrutiny.

Prometheus Radio Project and Community Media Database are conducting a survey of LPFM stations to gather information about the basic operations of LPFM stations.

This survey is for currently licensed LPFM stations only.

The following are comments that were filed in the September, 2011 MM Docket 99-25 proceeding regarding the disposition of Auction 83 (Great Translator Invasion) Translators in respect to the implementation of the Local Community Radio Act of 2010.

REC Networks has filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission regarding Low Power FM radio and FM Translators. In comments, REC promotes a modified version of the FCC's "Channel Floor" solution for implementing the "community need" aspect of the Local Community Radio Act of 2010.

REC addressed the following:

Counting existing LPFM stations in channel floors
REC opposes counting the existing LPFM stations in computing "channel floors" due to disparity in favor of FM translators.
