I noticed FDNY Brooklyn is missing. Is this part of the radio upgrade or is it something else?

I'm not aware of any changes to the analog Brooklyn dispatch channels on UHF and VHF.

I would think if the feed was just down temporarily, it would still be listed. Possibly the feed provider moved away or is unable to continue providing it for whatever reason. A good alternative is the FDNY Brooklyn/Hatzolah feed.

This thread from a few months ago in the New York forum re: the "All Boroughs FDNY Feed" is worth reading and may explain what happened to the Brooklyn feed.


That feed and the remaining individual borough feeds are provided by nycfire.net operated by a FDNY member. There were obvious technical difficulties with all the feeds recently that may have been beyond the providers capability to resolve. I have not seen any comment from him on their website about the situation.

Proving feeds in the NYC area is challenging with interference issues and, for a system like FDNY that is analog simulcast, it is difficult to find a site with good reception on all frequencies. He may have encountered difficulties with the all borough feed with no readily available solution.

Ok. Thank you for the explanation. It just disappeared one day from my dashboard.

No problem. Keep checking back on Broadcastify. Perhaps the feed will be put back up by the original provider or someone else will start streaming it
