So I just noticed a bunch of feeds on the COok County, IL Scanner Radio app section that are not showing up on the broadcastify website Cook County section. Some are even official feeds from Chicago PD like the Chicago Police North, South & Central feeds. Department of public works, several individual Citywide channels and so on. All not listed on Broadcastify feeds section. I notifed a few of them can be reached in the calls section but the official feeds like CPD North South and Central are not on the calls or regular feeds page.

There are a number of Chicago feeds that do indeed exist on Broadcastify, but for some reason do not show up on the county-level list of feeds. See this thread for some examples: Chicago Fire Department Feeds

It appears that some of the feeds you are seeing, however, are Calls feeds that the app developer created himself. Those do not exist on Broadcastify. An example that I am familiar with: "Montgomery County Law Enforcement" is a Calls playlist, but the developer manually created feeds that are a subset of that playlist (for example, one is just Montgomery County Sheriff and no other agencies). Something similar is likely happening for Chicago.

OK thanks, Yah I figured some where Calls playlists but the 3 official feeds for CHicago police are not an option in calls as they are delayed encrypted like Chicago Police North, South and central. The Individual zone feeds are still listed on the website though but not those other 3 official feeds. Thought maybe that was an option for the feed provider to not publish it on the main website or somethin
