We are currently handling potential applicants in various stages. Please make sure that when you send email to REC, that you either reply to an email that we sent you or you at least include your 4-digit ticket number in the subject line. That way your email is properly routed within REC. Many delays in responses are caused by folks who are starting new emails to us instead of replying to one of the emails we sent you.
On August 10, 2023, REC Networks issued the following statement in response to today's Media Bureau decision:
Today, the Media Bureau has issued a 64-page document including an Order to Show Cause Why A Cease and Desist Order Should Not Be Issued, an Order to Show Cause Why an Order of Revocation Order Should Not Be Issued, a Hearing Designation Order, a Notice of Opportunity for Hearing and a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture against Hispanic Christian Community Network, Inc.
The issue originally reported by REC in which the new LPFM application in LMS was not accepting applications which cannot claim the Local Established Presence point appears to have been resolved.
On the Point System Factors section of LMS, applicants that cannot claim the Local Established Presence point should select the option "N/A". Applicants that can claim this point must select the criteria on which they are basing their claim (educational organization, public safety or Tribal).
REC Networks has issued the sixth update to REC LPFM Advisory Letter #10.
