For complementary (shadow) transmitters, we are now showing the individual channel numbers. Even though a large majority of TV complementary transmitters operate on the same channel as their primary station, a few do not. Today's fixes correct this. This will also be reflected in FM records when FM complementary (shadow) stations expand.
All websites are being changed to a new server which will mean a change in IP address. During this transition, you may still be on the old server or on the new one. We have tested all background services on the new server and they appear to be working. We are still in the process of testing public facing services on the new server. During this time, you may also experience SSL/privacy errors.
AM Travelers Information Stations now have better support with full listings by either entering the call sign or clicking on the frequency on the dialscape screen (after you enter the city name).

With this tool, you can enter a street address and it will show a lot of information that's in our databases as well as information on federally elected officials. This tool is available at: https://recnet.com/premis
REC released a new release for FCCdata which is starting to integrate data from the International Bureau's filing system. This will allow you to look at 325(c) requests for the delivery of programming to foreign stations (Mexico), you will be able to pull up the Mexican facility on the USA tab of FCCdata in order to view the 325(c) data with links back to the International Bureau. This release also has allowed us to properly list domestic International Broadcast Stations (shortwave).
Starting in July, Google is going to start charging for the use of maps after a certain point of usage is achieved. Historically, these maps have been provided by Google free of charge To assure that REC will continue to deliver these maps to our users and clients, we will be putting some restrictions in place.
Our first release has been implemented through most of the REC universe. This requires that an REC mapping element can only be called from a web page operated by REC Networks.
On June 21, 2018, REC Networks now offers a real-time view into the FCC's Licensing and Management System (LMS) database. This functionality complements the existing functionality that takes a similar look into the FCC's Consolidated Database System (CDBS). Throughout the weekday, the LMS update will take place immediately after the CDBS update once every 5 minutes. REC's real-time LMS functionality behave similar to the CDBS functionality by looking at all application activity that has a status date of the current day.

REC has launched a new searchable database of FCC AM/FM unlicensed broadcast enforcement notices appropriately called ARRR. This is to help LPFM licensee organizations to properly vet potential board members to assure that they are in compliance with §73.854. The database is being built. All 2017 data to up present has been loaded.
Due to changes made by Google in regards to their mapping services, REC has had to impose a quota on the number of maps that we can serve on our tools such as FCCdata.org.
At this time, we are imposing a quota of 50 maps per IP address and 300 maps per Class C IP address in a rolling 24 hour period. When the quota is imposed, you will be able to view all information from the site with the exception of the Google map.
Please show your support by using the Ko-Fi link at the bottom of the page. Thank you for supporting REC's efforts!
