Updated: REC Advisory Letter #1: LPFM stations carrying network programming from "Relevant Radio"
“Relevant Radio” is the brand name of a radio service operated by Immaculate Heart Radio (IHR). Relevant Radio is a 24-hour Catholic programming service that provides a noncommercial programming source to affiliated stations across the country as well as through digital delivery. IHR, operating as Relevant Radio, Inc. owns several dozen full-service AM and FM broadcast stations and has been commended in the past by REC for preserving the legacy call letters of the stations that they acquire, including the infamous KHJ, Los Angeles. A couple of years ago, IHR had converted their stations from noncommercial educational to commercial and in their markets have been selling time. This, while maintaining a noncommercial stream for affiliated stations not owned by IHR.
