Hey guys

Just turned on the app to listen to Chicargo police department and noticed there are like 1210 people listening to it I was wondering whether anything had happened during the early hours of the morning over they as its usally only ever about 400 people listening just seems like a lot of people maybe it's just because it's the weekend over there?

Greetings...

Being Chicago, there is always *something* going on. I don't know of anything specific (Other than a freezing rain event). I can tell you that on nearly an everyday basis the CPD feed usually reaches a 1,000 listeners at some point during the overnight hours.

What's going on in Chicago?

Earlier there was a Limo "Party Bus" that caught fire on I294 maybe that peaked the interest of people? There are usually more listeners on weekends. I'm lucky enough to hear the Digital Chicago FIRE calls out in the suburbs here without going to Broadcastify. **He means when the verdict for the Officer in Ferguson MO is decided in the shooting case down there. There will be trouble unfortunately. The Protest Industry and anarchists are camped in down in Missouri waiting to destroy, burn, loot and maybe kill if they don't like the verdict. Listeners will probably be cut off that feed, I remember the person did it before when this all started so rioters couldn't coordinate off the information and use it against police. Liverpool eh? I knew one woman on line for a spell down in Hastings, she vanished into "Second Life" and we never heard from her again. Ha. We can listen to Emergency/Police/Fire but because of all the Terrorism they Encrypted most the police in major cities. I'm happy just to hear the Fire/Ambulance calls cause for a bit we didn't even have that here. It's our right to know what's going on around us. Scanner information saved my butt several times in my life.

You're better off opening a Twitter account and following Breaking News there. Quite a few of us "tweet" Chicago events, and the media follows and can confirm prior to broadcasting.

The day after the Boston Marathon. during the hunt for the second suspect, there was over 110,000 listeners to the Boston PD feed! I don't know if there has been a larger number for any feed since. Chicago, I believe has the title of "Leader of the Pack" when it comes to numbers.
