    For Immediate Release For More Information Kristi Olds (860) 989-7623 Connecticut REALTORS, iHeartMedia and WTNH News 8 Team Up to Help Combat Opioid Use Disorder in Connecticut Four-Time GRAMMY Award Winner Keith Urban to Headline Opioid Awareness Concert at Mohegan Sun Arena Hartford/New Haven, CT (September 23, 2019) — Every day, at least two people in Connecticut die from an opioid overdose. Connecticut REALTORS, iHeartMedia and WTNH News 8 are teaming up to help reduce that staggering number. Today marks the start of a multi-month campaign to raise money and build awareness surrounding Connecticut’s opioid crisis. The campaign will air on all media platforms including television, radio, digital and social media. The highlight of the campaign will be a concert headlined by Academy of Country Music & Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year Keith Urban titled “A Concert for Recovery” at Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday, November 17th. “CT REALTORS is committed to bettering our communities,“ said Dan Keune, 2019 President, CT REALTORS. “Whether it’s through disaster relief, food drives or volunteer efforts, our members are there. We are honored to partner with iHeartMedia and WTNH News 8 for this important effort to help reduce the stigma of opioid use disorder.” Michael Barbaro, Chair of the CT REALTORS Opioid Awareness Work Group, added, “Our hope is so much bigger than this concert. We want to make a significant impact in the way people view opioid use disorder, and remove the stigma directed at those who suffer from addiction. We can’t stay on the sidelines while so many people in our communities are suffering.” Specifics of the campaign will include public service announcements presented by local and national celebrities that speak to those seeking options and information on recovery, newscast stories and radio interviews that highlight individuals impacted by Connecticut’s opioid crisis and their road to recovery and a one-hour special television broadcast that includes highlights from Keith Urban’s “A Concert for Recovery”.

    For Immediate Release For More Information Kristi Olds (860) 989-7623, [email protected] Connecticut REALTORS, iHeartMedia and WTNH News 8 Help Raise More than $600,000 to Combat Opioid Use Disorder in Connecticut Hartford/New Haven, CT (December 12, 2019) — At least two people in Connecticut die every day from an opioid overdose. In a comprehensive effort to combat that staggering number, Connecticut REALTORS®, iHeartMedia and WTNH News 8 teamed up to raise money and build awareness to fight the stigma around Connecticut’s opioid crisis. This coalition raised more than $600,000 to help people across Connecticut get the assistance and support services they need. As part of a multi-month, multi-platform campaign that included public service announcements and news stories, four-time GRAMMY Award Winner Keith Urban headlined an opioid awareness concert at Mohegan Sun Arena titled “A Concert for Recovery.” Proceeds from the concert ticket sales to the public were donated by CT REALTORS® to the CT REALTORS® Foundation to provide charitable grants to organizations in CT addressing all aspects of the opioid crisis. In addition, Ticketmaster donated its fees associated with the concert tickets to the CTR Foundation. That combination, plus proceeds from a “text to donate” campaign totaled more than $600,000! “The focus of this campaign is to break the stigma associated with opioid use disorder and we are already seeing the evidence that it’s working,” said Michael Barbaro, chair of the CT REALTORS® Opioid Work Group. “We are hearing so many positive stories of people who are struggling that are now reaching out for help.

    Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) ) ) )

    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC In the matter of: ) ) Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) MB Docket 13-249 ) ) COMMENTS OF REC NETWORKS One of the primary goals of REC Networks (“REC”)1 is to assure a citizen’s access to the airwaves. Over the years, we have supported various aspects of non-commercial micro- broadcast efforts including Low Power FM (LPFM), proposals for a Low Power AM radio service as well as other creative concepts to use spectrum for one way communications. REC feels that as many organizations as possible should be able to enjoy spreading their message to their local community. It is our desire to see a diverse selection of voices on the dial spanning race, culture, language, sexual orientation and gender identity. This includes a mix of faith-based and secular voices. While REC lacks the technical knowledge to form an opinion on various aspects of AM broadcast engineering such as the “ratchet rule”, daytime and nighttime coverage standards and antenna efficiency, we will comment on various issues which are in the realm of citizen’s access to the airwaves and in the interests of listeners to AM broadcast band stations. REC supports a limited offering of translators to certain AM stations REC feels that there is a segment of “stand-alone” AM broadcast owners. These owners normally fall under the category of minority, women or GLBT/T2. These owners are likely to own a single AM station or a small group of AM stations and are most likely to only own stations with inferior nighttime service, such as Class-D stations.
