What happened?

Have you considered broadening it to include the other U.S. territories in the same forum as well?

I searched for "Guam" just now and found a thread in the "Questions about RadioDiscussions" forum. The U.S. Virgin Islands don't come up very frequently but when they do, there doesn't seem to be a place for them either.

They aren't geographically close to each other but they frequently get grouped together in conversations about the "U.S. territories", and they are all under the FCC's jurisdiction.

So... a forum for US territories ... with a Puerto Rico subforum?
 
I still miss the top 20 boards being in one place. It's annoying to have to click through each region to find the major markets. I personally don't care what's going on in bum **** nowhere.

Also curious why North Carolina is considered "Southeast"? We have a lot more in common with Virginia, DC and the "Mid Atlantic" states than we do with Mississippi and Alabama.

Click the “Watch” button for the Top 20 Market forums you want to look at, then they’ll always be in one place on your “Watched Forums” page. Learn to use the forum software.

There are not enough stations there to warrant a sub-board for there. We have states/regions in the US itself that do not warrant their own boards either anymore and there will be cuts coming there soon too.
 
Why did you all move the state boards into separate regions? What was the point? Shouldn't have to dig to find what we're looking for. Also FYI, Kentucky is not a Midwestern state. It is considered part of the South. Overall, not liking the changes.

I don't know if this will help you or not, but I bookmarked not the main RD page but the page for the Los Angeles board, which is where I am located and therefore a logical "starting point" for me.

Also, if you add any boards to your watch list, the little bell-shaped icon will show if there are any new posts in any of those since your last visit.

There are a lot of ways for frequent visitors to make accessing their chosen boards easier. What Lance is doing is designed to make it easier for newer arrivals to find things as they do not have the benefit of having been here a while to know where to look.

Technically, it is true that Puerto Rico is part of the United States. But culturally speaking, PR is Spanish. There are to my knowledge no major network English-language radio or TV stations there.

All are available on cable.

There were, in the distant past (60's and 70's) several English language radio stations like WHOA, but they were aimed at "continentals". The number of non-Hispanic mainlanders there now will not support a station, as most left with the ending of the Section 936 in the 1990's or before.

A couple of 70's and 80's era UHF channels tried running the big three US networks, but the cost of delivery then was so great that none made money.

That's too bad. Plus, your World Radio History website has not been updated since May 12th. Why?

I am working on a new computer and have had one after another incidents of infant mortality, including a $2600 Threadripper 7965 chip!
