(Advisory Committee on Diversity and Digital Empowerment)

Today, in a message to Commission stakeholders, REC Networks' founder 
Michelle Bradley made the following statement:

    "I do find it very disappointing that there is not one person on
    this committee who is representing the 2,186 licensed LPFM broadcast
    stations, many of which provide very diverse and in many cases,
    localized content on the fronts of ethnicity, gender, LGBT and
    religion. In addition, there is no representation of independent
    LPFM and community based full-service noncommercial educational
    (NCE) broadcasters at the upcomingsymposium on the broadcast
    industry
    <https://www.fcc.gov/document/media-bureau-announces-broadcast-symposium>.

    Across the country, community-focused secular and faith-based LPFM
    stations as well as smaller full-service NCE stations are providing
    unique and localized content not available elsewhere on the dial or
    even in the larger media landscape.  Its time for these thousands of
    broadcast licensees to be taken seriously and properly represented
    at the Commission as members of the media landscape."
