posting content to rec.radio.broadcasting
The Fybush posts are wonderful. Perhaps there are other national
posts that can be generated. Such as the NATIONAL FCC change feed. Perhaps an RSS of other radio/TV sites such as radio-info.com or monitoringtimes.com or popcomm.com or DCTV.com or perhaps a Google news feed of radio or shortwave or broadcasting. There are many radio aggregator sites that focus on broadcasting for a certain area. There has to be a number of ways to generate posts to this group that would be truly informative content in addition to Fybush...which is good of course. Thanks |

We have investigated a few other feeds; some have allowed us to use them, some not. We'll look at your suggestions, and anyone else who has ideas, please send them to: Patty Co-moderator, RRB |

Perhaps an RSS of other radio/TV sites such as radio-info.com or monitoringtimes.com or popcomm.com or DCTV.com or perhaps a Google news feed of radio or shortwave or broadcasting. There are many radio aggregator sites that focus on broadcasting for a certain area. The editors of the radio-info.com and radioworld.com sites have both declined to have rec.radio.broadcasting forward daily RSS feeds of their news articles. One of the challenges of other possible news feeds is to keep them mostly confined to broadcast radio, and not TV or shortwave or scanner listening. The dcrtv.com site is really great for Washington DC area broadcasting news, but as far as I know, does not support RSS. Sites might be interested in allowing rec.radio.broadcasting to abstract their feeds (either Fair Use or something close to it), and RSS is usually the best and easiest way to abstract updates at web sites automatically. There are at two profiled feeds of the FCC Daily Digests to newsgroups that I know of. One for amateur radio (Part 97) information, the other for radio and TV broadcasting in the Bay Area of California (San Francisco, San Jose, etc.). Tracking FCC actions for all broadcast radio stations nationwide could be quite voluminous and noisy. What kinds of pattern matches would you propose be profiled for rec.radio.broadcasting? New stations? Significant enforcement actions? Sometimes that's hard to do in a way that is useful and manageable for the readership without a lot of reading and manual culling by an editor. We might need an interested volunteer. There has to be a number of ways to generate posts to this group that would be truly informative content in addition to Fybush...which is good of course. Thanks The original moderator of this newsgroup, the late Bill Pfeiffer, coordinated a "Radio Watchers" program, where individuals around the country, and world, would follow radio stations in their markets, and sometimes surrounding regions, and report back to rec.radio.broadcasting. Scott Fybush, the author of the Fybush Media articles, was one of the original Radio Watchers, for the northeastern U.S., and is probably one of the few remaining who continue to provide updates to the net. Given that the moderation system for rec.radio.broadcasting can support several automated options, including posting from newsreaders, E-mail submissions, web site scraping, and now RSS, it would appear that it might be technically easier to capture and post the information, even automatically. What would be the remaining challenge would be to find good sites that would consent to relay of their material, and good watchers to submit their own local observations and analysis. - -- Paul W.
