Why no GMRS broadcast?

What kind of audience would there realistically be for a GMRS repeater?

There are other licensed methods for broadcasting. With the FCC, its sort of a place for everything and everything in its place.

I own a GMRS repeater and would like to put my repeater on broadcastify!There are other licensed methods for broadcasting.

We have 74 GMRS operators most who are involved in some type of repeater or node work in Louisiana alone..

Hmm; I would listen to GMRS in Chicago or NYC
Broadcastify reserves the right to limit access to or disable broadcasts that the management feels not appropriate for the community.
GMRS: not appropriate
Los Angeles Renegade 435 repeater: appropriate
I'm not complaining, btw..the "lively discussion" on that repeater is quality entertainment.

I completely understand your view, and it is exactly why I asked the reason for not allowing GMRS repeaters. The topics on some amateur systems get out in left field a lot, in fact sometime I think they slap cross the line on allowable content as per the FCC. I completely understand why CB and in the clear GMRS should be on the no go list as any plug can go grab some bubble pack radios and stir the pot.Broadcastify reserves the right to limit access to or disable broadcasts that the management feels not appropriate for the community.

However GMRS repeaters have CTCSS and the bubble pack radios cannot access the repeaters this allows us to keep the rift raft at bay. Of course any plug can order a UV5R and jump on a GMRS repeater but they can do the same on a amateur repeater also. Most of the GMRS repeaters at least in Louisiana are run by amateurs and are used by their family who have not taken the HAM plunge.
I feel that the GMRS repeaters not being allowed is more of a knee jerk decision based on the fact that a lot of amateurs look down on GMRS than anything else.

I also thought that CB was a no no on Broadcastify until I came across someone running a Channel 6 live feed out of Monmouth, New Jersey few weeks ago, so I guess the rules have since changed.
