In comments to the FCC on RM-11727, REC Networks has analyzed the proposal by SSR Communications to create a new Class C4 FM service in the Zone II areas (areas excluding the northeast, mid-west, mid-Atlantic, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and most of California).  The proposed Class C4 would permit Class A stations to double their power and operate at 12 kilowatts at 100 meters height above average terrain. 

    AMES, IA  (August 14, 2014) - - - REC Networks, recognized as one of the “big-three” advocates for the Low Power FM (LPFM) service is announcing the creation of a new company, REC Broadcast Services, LLC.  (“REC LLC”)  

REC has received many questions in regards to the closure of Nexus and how this will impact our clients as well as others who have purchased equipment from Nexus Broadcast. 

Please note that information directly related to Nexus Broadcast future operations is based on information that we have received.  This is subject to change.  Please also check with http://nexusbroadcast.com for more information.

On July 31, 2014, Nexus Broadcast, LLC (Nexus) has informed Michelle Eyre Bradley dba REC Networks (REC) that effective August 1, 2014, that Nexus would “close”.   Nexus is currently in the process of winding down their operations.  

Nexus has advised REC that they will no longer be accepting new engineering service requests (that are sent to REC for handling) and they will have limited resources to service customers through the month of August. 

This has caught REC off-guard and now we are looking at how this will impact current customers of Nexus who have purchased RECnexus co-branded services as well as how this will affect new requests for application services.

On Monday, the FCC has dismissed 8 applications that were assisted by Hispanic Christian Community Network that is headed by Antonio Cesar Guel.  These dismissals include two dismissals in Minneapolis and one in Seattle.  The remaining dismissals were in Wisconsin and Texas. 

In these dismissals, the Commission sent a Letter of Inquiry to the tower owners to verify that either HCCN or the "applicant" received assurance (permission) to use that site for their tower.  In these cases, the tower owners make swom statements that they did not provide assurance to either HCCN or the "applicant".
