On Sunday, October 13, 2024, REC's delivery of IPAWS data will be temporarily stopped for a period lasting approximately one hour. This will not impact the ability to view data on systems. This change is to support the System40 Transition Project.

In a public notice, the Federal Communications Commission has announced a filing window for new construction permits for full-service noncommercial educational (NCE) television stations.

The filing window will be open from December 4 through December 11, 2024.

To participate in the window, the organization must be an educational institution, such as a school or university, a government entity which does not operate a school or a “nonprofit educational organization”.

The Media Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission has reached what is believed to be the first in up to three decisions on the LPFM stations that would eventually be referred to as the “Charlottesville 5”.

The Charlottesville 5 stations included WREN-LP, WXRK-LP, WVAI-LP and WPVC-LP, all licensed to Charlottesville, VA; as well as WKMZ-LP, Ruckersville, VA.  The licenses of WPVC-LP and WKMZ-LP would be subsequently cancelled and therefore, only three of the stations remain today.
