In a bit of a followup I'm doing in relation to this post (in regards to a front group for Calvary Chapel groups in California attempting to hijack the LPFM license of a high school in Massachusetts) I decided to do a bit more research on just how deep the rabbit hole went insofar as *this* particular group and its abuse of LPFM licensure rules to set up "godcasting" networks via translator licenses.

Now, doing my own search via the GenMen database at the FCC
(http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/reports/index.cfm), it turns out Living
Proof seems to be a godcasting network composed almost entirely of
translators (licensure info is my own addition per the linkable
records):

(FX is translator, FM is normal FM station)

Now, the intended purpose of a translator station is as a "booster" station--in an area where there are "holes" in a radio signal, a radio station will relay its programming on a translator.

The vast majority of these are translators--often in different *states*, across the *country* in fact--which are acting as translators for this particular programmer (many of which are listed as being off-air).

And keep in mind, NONE of these are pending--these are ALL radio licenses already *issued* by the FCC. (Interestingly, two are due to expire this year and are in their license renewal comment period.)

A search using a different FCC tool geared specifically towards AM/FM radio licensees (http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_sear.htm) gives quite a bit more:

Per my records, 116 separate and distinct actions--mostly for license approvals.

Yes, I think someone IS trying to set up a backdoor "godcasting" network indeed.

The good news is that apparently the two stations at the "heart" of this little godcasting empire are at the end of their licensure period (their licenses expire at the end of 2005) and are thus in the "public comment" period.

Complaints to the FCC are probably warranted. You know you want to. In fact, the FCC makes it easy:

You may file a complaint via e-mail at fccinfo@fcc.gov or by calling 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) voice or 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322) TTY.
