ABOUT THE FIRM
Munn-Reese, Inc offers a wide variety of RF engineering
services. Broadcast media, including AM, FM, TV, and LPTV, is our specialty!
Applications for construction permits and/or licenses have been successfully
prepared for clients in all 50 states and several foreign countries. Each member of our technical staff has
practical experience in either ownership, operational or technical management
of broadcast or common carrier properties.
In addition to providing preliminary feasibility and allocations studies,
Munn-Reese provides complete preparation of FCC technical filings. We have
established relationships with most leading communications attorney firms to
assure optimum handling of filings before the Federal Communication Commission.
Since 1952, expert testimony has been provided in scores of comparative hearing
cases before the FCC.
On January 1, 1999 the name of our firm was changed to Munn-Reese, Inc.
We were originally known as E. Harold Munn, Jr. & Associates, Inc. The new
name is designed to reflect both our roots and our current leadership. E.
Harold Munn, Jr. founded the firm in 1950. When Mr. Munn and his wife retired
in November of 1992 they sold the business to our current president, Wayne
Reese, and his wife, Chris. Mr. Munn remains of counsel to
Munn-Reese and provides insight from the many years of experience in dealing
with the FCC.
