Are you serious
I am wondering the same thing. I listen to their feed ALL DAY.

I don't know, but the timing is worrisome. With the blizzard warning and the "snowcalypse," this is a bad time for it to be discontinued. I listen as much as possible, myself. Saying a prayer for all first responders and everyone else whose job requires them to be out in this weather!

Okay it's time to chime in! The feed was taken down because the feed provider had to use his internet resources for other things that are more important to the business he is in. It is not some conspiracy from the City of Stillwater or any other wacky reason I have read. It was flattering and appreciated for all the listeners but the truth is if you are local and want to listen to Stillwater go buy yourself a police scanner. A simple VHF/UHF scanner will work just fine and can purchased at or just below $100.00 You can get both a handheld or base. I'm sure the Radio Shack here in town will not mind your business and will be more then happy to assist you in your new purchase. Happy Scanning!

Further, if you wish to provide a feed, you just need aforementioned scanner and a computer / network connection you can leave going 24x7. The feed software doesn't take much in the way of resources, so can be on a computer you otherwise use for other things - it just needs to (ideally) stay on 24x7.
Apply here to provide a feed, and when they approve it they'll give you a link with the relevant info and software to get things going.

Thanks Peter. I have a decent trunking scanner in storage in edmond, but went to radio shack and purchased a cheap one to get me by. The problem is all i can pick up is stw 460.325. I plugged in the other locals I wanted to (and used to) hear and the scanner wont pick them up. I am at richmond and washington area in a metal structure. Does it sound like a reception issue or am i close enough to the dispatch that it should not matter?

Josh,
That is strange. I have a friend that lives at Richmond and Perkins and he hears everything just fine. What kind of scanner are you using?

A Simple Question
I am so sorry if I offended any long time, highly educated and professional scan people.
PJ, I have appreciated and have felt ever so grateful for your help. I did not *intend* to be wild or wacky. I had a simple question, for which I was hoping for an answer. Moreover, I do hope *whomever* had this feed up and has taken it down for his business is ever more successful.
Nonetheless, In fact, I do understand probably better than you know the workings of our city council and Mr. Galloway. But that is an aside and not pertinent to the case.
I did send you a private message regarding the equipment you wished to sell, but did not receive a reply (snarky or otherwise). I do have a handheld scanner and I do listen to it daily. I do have two very special friends who are officers with PD. I am sure they would be more than willing to help with any questions I might have - better than Radio Shack.
What definitely would have been appreciated even more would have been a heads-up on the fact the feed was going to be taken down and when it would be disconnected. The primary reason I use this service is for the archiving. In my research, it is critical to have an archived recording for reference.
Again, PJ, I am very sorry to have offended your *sensibility* in this matter.
Now, if someone please could give me some advice on archiving which may or may not use RR, that would be good manners.

You didn't offend me at all nor was I trying to be offensive. I enjoy the feeds just as much as you do. I was just stating the fact that if you really want to listen to your local agencies to go by a scanner. Feeds require some resources that may or may not be available. Stillwater is about as easy as it gets when it comes to scanning and we can't say that for many places. The feed is gone and will not be provided again by the provider. Happy Scanning!
