I was wondering how to obtain the feed provider status, I am running a feed on broadcastify but seem to have premium subscriber. Thanks!
Premium Subscriber vs. Feed Provider

I shouldn't be marked as anonymous, I'll look into it when I get home.
Premium Subscriber badge takes priority over Feed Provider badge. You must have an active premium subscription in addition to hosting a feed. Oh and your feed is not anonymous, but that's not a factor in this case.
Interesting, it used to be the other way around, no?
Guess I just never noticed. I just remember mine never showing Feed Provider, only Premium when anonymous..
Also, it used to be if you set up a feed, you got FREE Premium as a feeder. Premium was a basic perk for most things, like if you were an Mod, or Admin, that was just part of the perks. Now you need to buy premium as WELL as provide a feed? (Yes, I did run a feed long ago, yes I once did the Mod thang, and the Admin thang, so yes I do know what I am talking about.)

Uh, no. Feed Provider = complimentary premium as long as your feed is active. I believe that applies to hosting a Calls node as well.
Okay, was confused by your: " You must have an active premium subscription in addition to hosting a feed. " Since as a provider, you get the premium.
I meant it in the context of that specific user seems to have both a premium subscription as well as being a feed provider. My wording could've been better.
Also incorrect on moderators getting a free premium account. I pay for my premium just like everyone else does.
So what I've gathered, I need to pay for premium and be a feed provider in order to get the badge? Doesn't make sense if it's complimentary for feeding. Do I have that info wrong?
Actually you have it backwards. Let's try this again.
- If you have paid for a premium membership, the Premium Subscriber badge/banner will appear under your username in the forums as long as that membership is active
- If you provide a feed, the Feed Provider badge/banner will appear under your username
- If you both provide a feed AND have an active paid premium membership, the Premium Subscriber badge/banner is the one that will take priority, and that will appear in the forum (not Feed Provider)
I believe something is afoot with his account. Some feed providers slipped through the cracks as far as showing as such. Maybe @blantonl can look into it.
Fair enough, you would know better than I would. Actually upon second look at his main RR profile, I don't see the premium subscriber badge, only feed provider and amateur operator. That means my assumption that he had paid for a subscription is likely wrong, and it's just a glitch.
Hang tight, kd0feo, it'll probably get fixed at some point. You can also send an email to support@radioreference.com to get a direct line to help with this.

I used to have a paid subscription back in the day when I did my first go around with digital scanning but that has lapsed for years.
So I removed your Premium status for the forums so you’ve got your Feed Provider badge back. Shouldn’t affect anything else.
