REC opposes commercial LPFM ownership and auctions while driving for changes in assignments, technical rules and underwriting

By admin | 8:30 AM EDT, Mon August 31, 2015

REC Networks has filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission on the Petition for Rulemaking filed by the upstart Low Power FM Advocacy Group (LPFM.AG).  In their petition, LPFM.AG seeks to make substantial changes to the LPFM service which included the ability for LPFM organizations to air commercials, own more stations, have primary status, the ability to have boosters, increase power and use the same engineering rules that apply to FM translators.  The LPFM.AG petition also called for the ability for unbuilt construction permits to be transferred to other organizations in order to save the station.

REC's "Plan B" for LPFM allocations

REC's "Plan B" is an alternate concept compared to the simplified process for a 250-watt LPFM service as proposed in REC's RM-11749 petition for rulemaking.  While REC had been working on "Plan B" for the past few years, a concept similar to Plan B was brought up by LPFM.AG in their petition for rulemaking, RM-11753.   LPFM.AG supports a complete replacement of the distance separation requirements for LPFM stations in §73.807(a) of the rules with "translator rules" or a complete contour overlap model.

Statement of REC Networks: WVVF-LP Complaint by Beasley

By admin | 11:06 AM EDT, Thu August 06, 2015

REC joins with other LPFM advocates in admonishing Beasley Media Group in their attack on a new LPFM station.  As a new LPFM station, the station should never be expected to come out of the box with their full format and services.  These things take time.  Regardless of the content the station ends up programming, the First Amendment precludes the FCC from taking action on entertainment format.  The Commission only has the authority to take action on unprotected forms of speech such as commercial content and indecent material outside the designated safe-harbor hours.

With Beasley having the only Spanish station in the market pulling numbers, the Hispanic population of Tampa-St. Petersburg deserve a choice.
