What are some continuous news station that broadcast continuously on the 450mhz? if you have a list that would be so much better, thanks. Northern NJ and Long Island are welcomed as well.
the TV & Radio stations are all getting 450/455 mhz again so keep you ears on !
One of the issues we have to deal with is the faze out of Nextel's direct connect. It's been the backbone of our communications for many years. It was also the favorite of the police. When we realized that the cops can pull the plug on non-emergency users, we needed to control our own communications systems. Thus: everything old is new again and the 450 band is being re-populated.

It boils down to this: we need to control our own communications. Cops have priority to the system and when ever there is an event, everyone around it immediately starts to use their wireless whatever's. The 450 band is ours to use. The cell system has become crowded. Now there are the "Live-U" and "Dejaro" units that use multiple cell phone connects to feed video and audio that stations are using instead of microwave links. So unless a hole lot of band with opens up, city broadcasters will use the 450 band to stay on the air.
The radio comms are just for operations. Any important info [exclusive interviews or locations] is handled by text, e-mail or phone. You will hear some direction on the IFB channels but that's about it.
I was listening to the news band during a water main break in Hoboken, NJ. I could see 3 news helicopters hovering and when I went to scan the news band, all I heard was audio feeds and a guy saying he needed this shot and that shot. And it was only one way. I never heard anything from the helicopter.
