Perfect, Low Cost STL Solution Perfect, Low Cost STL Solution “We use BRIC-Links for our main STL on107.7 FM, one of the satellite stations for WTOP, with very good results. I was pleasantly surprised at just how easy it is to set up a pair of BRIC-Links out of the box. I had my final configuration within ten minutes of powering up the units. We’re running AAC audio that sounds every bit as good as the circuits to our other transmitter sites. We had been struggling for about a year to find a reliable audio STL to our transmitter site on top of a mountain in Warrenton, VA. The telco lines degraded every time it rained, causing dropouts in our T1 and ISDN service. This summer, when services that did not rely on the leaky copper cables were finally built out at the site, we tried a pair of BRIC-Links on our new broadband Internet service. We’ve kept our transmitter on them ever since. We’re going to be purchasing more pairs of these units to feed audio to our other sites.” David Kolesar, Senior Broadcast Engineer Bonneville International Corporation WTOP / WFED, Washington, DC We design our products to be dependable.

  • Summer 2021 | Commemorative Program Welcome
    Summer 2021 | Commemorative Program Welcome The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Leadership Foundation and the National Association of Broadcasters welcome you to the 2021 Celebration of Service to America Awards. Every day, local radio and television stations provide a critical public service by delivering essential news, weather and entertainment their communities rely on every day, as well as a lifeline during times of crisis. When the mics and cameras turn off, these stations continue their good work through charitable efforts and service to their communities. This year was no exception as our finalists devoted 3,528 hours of airtime to public service and addressed the unique challenges of COVID-19 within their communities. In total, more than $43,440,000 worth of funds and donations were raised to support local charities across the country to help fight hunger, fill gaps in education and provide support to local businesses and charities. The importance and impact of broadcasting has never been greater. While we cannot celebrate in person this year, we are thankful for the support of our broadcasting community and Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution as we recognize the work and share the stories of our fellow broadcasters. We are honored that the 23rd annual Celebration of Service to America Awards will once again be broadcast across the country by local radio and television stations as a special one-hour awards ceremony featuring celebrity guests, past honorees and policymakers beginning July 10 through August 14. Emmy award-winning host Tamron Hall and other celebrity guests will honor local radio and television stations and community leaders like Lin-Manuel Miranda for their unwavering commitment to the communities they serve.

  • In the Matter of ) ) Sale of 15 Simmons Media Group Radio ) Stations to Bonneville International Corp
    In the matter of ) ) Sale of 15 Simmons Media Group radio ) stations to Bonneville International Corp. ) Bonneville International Corporation, the Media arm of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, aka the Mormon Church, has announced its intention to buy 15 radio stations from Simmons Media Group for 173.5 million dollars. This sale would violate FCC antimonopoly rules and would require a waiver or change in FCC rules. The deal would give the Mormon Church three of the five top-rated radio stations in Salt Lake City. The Mormon Church already owns KSL-TV and KSL-AM, and controls Salt Lake's two daily newspapers through the Newspaper Agency Corporation. The Church also owns educational TV and radio stations and cable TV channel 34. All the stations in the sale are located in the Intermountain area and would further cement the media monopoly the Church currently has. It owns KCSG-TV channel 4 in Cedar City and St. George, and this would give it two AM and two FM stations in this small community. It also would take over five FM and three AM stations in the Pocatello-Idaho Falls area. The people of Utah have a right to be protected from a degree of media concentration that is repugnant to antitrust principles and inconsistent with the Communication Act's goal of providing for the expression of diverse views. In Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC (395 US 367, 390, (1969)) it states: "It is the purpose of the First Amendment to preserve an uninhibited marketplace of ideas in which the truth will ultimately prevail, rather than to countenance monopolization of that market, whether it be by government itself or a private licensee ..

    The Broadcasters’ Desktop Resource www.theBDR.net … edited by Barry Mishkind – the Eclectic Engineer High Powered History KSL at 95 – Still Serving its Community [May 2017] Back in 1922, when radio stations The first transmissions from KZN (“Zion”) were exploded across the nation, most of the action from the roof of the Deseret News Building. was in the largest cities. However, some of the Mormon Church President Heber Grant took pioneer stations were built way out in what was part in KZN’s opening ceremonies then “the middle of nowhere.” That does not mean they were not influential, in more than one way. For millions of listeners from 1965 to 1978 KSL meant the warm, friendly voice of Herb Jepko as it helped them through the night hours with news, companionship and advice – exactly what the FCC envisioned for the clear channel service it set up in the 1930s. Heber Grant shown in the paper as he opened KZN’s operations But KSL has been a lot more than that to the people of Utah and the American West. The station operated from its Broadcast House in the building for the next 40 years. THE RADIO GOLD RUSH In early 1922, the Department of Commerce (DOC) was flooded with applications from com- panies that wanted to have a share of the new wireless broadcasting service. While a few of the stations were built by ama- teurs and colleges, many of the earliest stations were designed to provide publicity for the own- er’s business: radio manufacturers, car dealers, newspapers, farm supplies, etc.
