MRCC/ED Channels Restricted?

[engine173351]

Hello, all. It's been about 11 years since I've posted on here, so go easy on me. I tried searching the forums for an answer to my question, but was not successful.

I no longer have any equipment of my own, but I listen extensively to the Calls Platform on Broadcastify - specifically fire/EMS for Hennepin County. The East MRCC and West MRCC channels, as well as other hospital ED channels, can be heard in real time. However, when I go back through the platform to the archives, those particular channels cannot be accessed unless you are an admin or broadcaster. I have noticed this for other states as well. Is this a patient privacy thing?

The reason I bring this up is that, last week, the archives for these channels were accessible for several days before being locked again. What's the deal?

Sound like a question for the "broadcastify listener support" thread..
I do know Broadcastify has specific limits on streaming patient report channels in their linear streams. On their Calls platform, they will ingest everything, but depending on how the talkgroup is tagged, it may only be available to the broadcaster and not the general public. Did the tagging on the talkgroup in the database change?
You might also want to check out openmhz.com and see if any of the feeds there contain the talkgroups you're looking for.
