We are back up... for now.

Sat, 11/10/2012 - 16:09

After REC systems came back up following the Sandy related power outage, we were not able to bring up the akane server. We first tried moving the hard drive to another CPU. This did not work properly and it was causing hard disk related errors. We eventually offloaded the material needed to operate the akane services (both for REC and J1) and moved them to another drive. We did a reinstall and so far, everything is working stable.

This is not our final solution but we wanted to get the services back up and running.

Thank you to those who had offered off-site hosting of these services. We are avoiding such arrangements at this time, especially on shared servers because the Broadcast Services applications can be very taxing, especially during daily and weekly updates.

NJ Broadcasters: The LCRA Was Not Enough...

Sat, 09/29/2012 - 16:07

The FCC has recently ruled against keeping a docket open that would have further restricted LPFM and FM Translators in the state of New Jersey.  In 2004, the New Jersey Broadcasters Association (NJBA) filed a Petition for Rulemaking that would become RM-11099.  Under the NJPA's proposal, the protected service contours of full power stations in New Jersey would be substantially extended where it comes to LPFM and FM translator stations. 

New Jersey has always been in a unique situation that because of their geography, many full power stations in and around New Jersey are concentrated in the New York City and Philadelphia markets leaving very few channels available in other parts of the state.

REC statement regarding AFA's "underground railroad" comments

Thu, 08/09/2012 - 01:44

I, like many are very deeply distrubed that any organization, even one that is on the Southern Poverty Law Center's list of hate organizations advocates the commission of a crime, especially child abduction in order to further its cause.  I find it even more distrubing that this organization is also a licensed broadcaster.
