Pardon my diversity...

OK now, maybe I am overreacting here, but I take great offense to comments that were posted on the 2007 REC History page of what this website should be. Mainly, someone is offended due to the fact that you see references to roller derby, "hardcore" Japanese music and then has to bring my gender identity into play.

I want to make this clear to everyone who visits this site, if you are coming here expecting a website to be solely about broadcasting, then I am about to rain on your parade.

A special announcement from Michelle A. Eyre of REC Networks

Thu, 09/25/2008 - 01:43

Welcome to the new RECNET.COM website! We have finally taken the direction of using a content management solution. We had decided to use Drupal. In the past, we had tried to use Joomla with some very bad results.

Now with the exception of some fringe content, all of the primary REC content has been moved over here. You will find all of the tools that you are used to using on the blue menu just under the REC logo at the top of the page.

We have added a couple of new interesting things.
