Title: Could you announce feeds that are closing?
Post by: 777lrf on April 03, 2019, 07:54:59 PM

Often some feeds I like to hear but not as often as I can, disappear one day from the list. Like LGAV and HKJK. Could you announce plans to close feeds on a page so I can listen in before they are gone? Thanks for this service and I understand most of the time it is out of your control!

It's a huge amount of overhead to do that...there are simply too many feeds and we don't always get warning when they may have to go down. We spend our time and energy on replacing the feeds where possible.

Understandable
Just a post on social media if you get a note from a provider that they are closing if you find the time would be appreciated
Thanks for this great service to us

You'll also find information on when feeds are down in the Feed Outage/Status Reports forum.  This is where many feed providers will post the status of their feeds.
