This was a Facebook comment that I had made in response to another reader thinking that I was advocating abandoning PEG (Public Education Government) channels on traditional cable TV systems and replacing with LPFM stations.

A few years ago, REC used to publish periodic updates on the granting of LPFM construction permits. With that, we would mention how far along the FCC was in the process. This information was and still is available on the "LPFM Scoreboard" option on the REC website.

For those who use the REC Broadcast Query tool

there are some updates in progress. We are adding in functionality to support REC's comments in MM Docket 99-25 related to the handling of Window 83 (Great Translator Invasion) applications.

First of all, let me say greetings to the Amherst Alliance's Don and Nick. I am glad to see you all still out there. The nice thing about the LPFM service is that there are many diverse voices not just in the licensees but also in those who are fighting for the service. In reading the Amherst comments, it gets me thinking that they were not invited to the party. In many ways, neither was REC. We knew about the EMF/Prometheus agreement but only because we remained visible through LPFM's low tide.
