As per our joint settlement agreement with Wren Communications, FCYB’s application for a new station in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado has been DISMISSED. The application number is BNPED-20071019ART. If you have any questions, please contact Jake Wood at jwood@fcyb.org or 970-797-1491.
I’m excited to say that someone willing to pick music and coordinate shows as coming forward. Her name: Laura Pfiester! If you have any concerns about the programming or music on the station, you will no longer need to e-mail me, instead please e-mail her at laurap, followed by the at sign (@), which is further followed by our domain name (fcyb.org).  Let’s see a computer tackle that one for spam.
I have also created a Programming category which Laura will be able to post to the blog on to keep the world updated on the programming and whatnot. I figured it’s a fairly big part of running the station, so it deserves its own category.
On a sidenote, I’m considering consolidating some of the categories even further so we don’t have so many. In fact I’ll probably do that right now 🙂
Adios, until next time!

Since the check didn’t clear fast enough, the owners of 101.5 wanted nothing to do with it. So, we’ll probably send it back to Vic until the settlement agreement goes through at the FCC.
In the meantime, we’ll be continuing our Internet stream, and soon we hope to start podcasts and at least recorded shows until we can get studio space setup.
In the future, they did say they might work with us. However, it’d be ultimately cheaper to file for a new LPFM station, wait for the construction permit, and build it. It’d cost about 3 months of lease to build the station. Three months is not very long, and not very much, either. So hopefully the FCC will open a new window soon!
We deposited our check from Vic yesterday, only to find $1,000 to be withheld by the union until it clears. So, with this in mind, we contacted the people at 101.5 and hope they understand our situation. Still waiting to hear back. This is one of the two determining factors, the other being Jake’s report on legality and value of license, which once completed will be released here.
