REC operational status (December 5, 2023, until further notice) - REC is in modified operations due to the upcoming LPFM filing window and other resource intensive projects. We are currently not accepting any incoming live telephone calls. Callers are advised to please leave a message on the voice mail. Those with questions about LPFM can visit LPFM.app to get a general explanation of the service or use the resources at RECnet.com to get more information to more detailed issues (see recnet.com/faq and recnet.com/lpfm).

At this time, we are in embargo for all services except:

  • License to cover applications on REC handled applications.
  • Extensions of REC handled STA applications.
  • STA and silent requests directly related to a natural disaster.
  • Activities related to the National Periodic Test (limited to those who paid for Form One earlier this year).

    • The embargo is expected be lifted on December 18, 2023 or when we can determine that we have adequate resource time to handle embargoed application types. The embargo may be extended in the event of a government shutdown where the filing date for the LPFM window is extended. Thank you for your understanding.

    LPFM Standby is CLOSED. - [12/5/23 10:45 AM ET] Due to the pending work load, we cannot guarantee that any new "standby" requests for REC services related to the window can be processed in time for the filing window. Therefore, we must close our standby opportunity at this time. We wish all applicants the best of luck in the LPFM filing window.

    FCC.today: The Podcast is on hiatus until after the close of the LPFM filing window.

    REC Networks statement on the confirmation of Geoffrey Starks to the Federal Communications Commission

    Thu, 01/03/2019 - 11:13

    Congratulations to Geoffrey Starks on what was a long confirmation process.  Starks brings recent real-world experience to the Commission from the Enforcement Bureau.  Once this shutdown is over, I will be happy to work with Commissioner Starks to further community radio and a citizen's access to spectrum.  Taking the position previously held by Mingnon Clyburn, Commissioner Starks has some huge shoes to fill and I hope we can work together to get him up to speed on the issues that are important to REC including LP-250, new entry into NCE broadcasting, alternative spectrum, spectrum and equ

    J1/REC-FM Update 12/19/2018 19:00 EST

    Wed, 12/19/2018 - 19:14

    There has been a lot going on today in regards to this situation.  First of all, I want to point out that REC Networks (J1 Radio and REC-FM) are not being specifically targeted.  This is impacting all customers of a particular streaming provider.  A provider who has been very good to us for the past year or so.  We really don't want to see them go. 

    A message to J1 and REC-FM listeners / J1ラジオの聴取者への手紙です。

    Wed, 12/19/2018 - 10:42

    Well, I feel like it's deja vu all over again.  Just a couple of years ago, we found ourselves in a position where we were having to move off of Live365 due to pressure from SoundExchange (or in other words, the American recording industry).  Well, we have reached that point again.  For the past two years, REC has been working with Canadian providers operating under the licenses that are offered by SOCAN.  The SOCAN licensing scheme was promoted as having reciprocal coverage.  After a rocky start with another provider, REC has been using TorontoCast to manage 5 audio services operated by RE
