Michi Bradley - Sat, 12/17/2022 - 11:25

Fri, 11/18/2022 - 09:59

All of the networks of REC (broadcast services, J1 Radio and Delmarva FM) are closely watching the developments going on at Twitter.  While we will take no position on the current labor situation that is impacting Twitter at this time nor are we taking a position on the current ownership structure of the social network, we are concerned about the interruption of Twitter services and the impacts on the services that are provided by REC Networks that depend on them.

REC Networks announces guidelines for 2023 listings in the National LPFM Station Directory (LPFM.us)

Sun, 11/13/2022 - 18:43

REC Networks operates the National LPFM Station Directory at lpfm.us.  This directory lists every LPFM station across the country.  

During the last two weeks of the year (Christmas week and New Years week), REC has been doing an extensive inventory of all 2,000+ LPFM stations in order to try to find them so they can be listed.  This is a very time consuming process, especially with the many stations that choose to not be visible through the lack of a website and social media presence.  

LPFM stations can now have their logos and station information displayed in some connected cars at no charge.

Sun, 11/06/2022 - 19:06

For immediate release.

REC Networks has released Version 3.1 of myLPFM (https://mylpfm.com).  With this new version comes functionality that permits any licensed LPFM station to enhance their presence in certain vehicle models (with more on the way) using RadioDNS.   RadioDNS is an open source service originally established by the European Broadcasting Union but is available world wide.
