Scotts Bluff County Scanner celebrates 10 years on-the-air

The Scotts Bluff County Scanner live scanner feed provided by Hale Multimedia began back in September of 2010 when a friend of ours came to us with the idea. 

At the time, there were only a handful of counties in Nebraska and surrounding states that had a volunteer to provide the feed.  We did some research and learned that we could become a volunteer and provide a live feed via the internet making it possible for anyone in the world to listen to the Scotts Bluff County police, fire and rescue scanner traffic. 

We then figured it would be smart to let the Sheriff and the head of Communications know about our idea to see if they had any objections. Consent is not required, but we wanted to have it anyway. They did not object.

We always want to emphasize the importance of staying out of the way in any emergency situation. Police officers have a duty to secure the area and their directions should be followed if told to move.

In 2013, Hale Multimedia moved their main office to Wichita Falls, Texas where they continue to operate as they did before, just from a different virtual headquarters.  The move did however create the need for additional volunteers located in Scotts Bluff County to serve as the live host for the actual scanner that transmits out to the web.

Hale Broadcasting / Hale Multimedia Partnership

Hale Multimedia began in 1998 as Hale Broadcasting and Website Design before the official name change in 2004. From the beginning, our emphasis has been on two primary areas; radio broadcasting and website design, as the name implied. For the past twenty years, they have operated independently. Howard Hale handled the radio network and Brian & Andi Hale handled the website business. Entering his 80's, Howard continues to amaze us all with his ability to ask the right questions and then listen intently as his guests share their knowledge and experience with his loyal listeners on his 3 daily radio programs. Howard also loves to raise, train and sell quarterhorses in his spare time. The time has come for us to help with the radio network management and broadcast duties at Hale Broadcasting, so you will be hearing more of Brian on the radio. Our 3 daily radio programs are The Harvest Report, The Horseman's Corner and The Cattleman's Corner and can be heard anytime onl

How much does an average website cost?

Ah, the age-old question whose definitive answer has eluded us for over two decades, "How much does an average website cost?" Being from the computer programming world at the time when websites were first being created, this question has obviously come across my radar on numerous occasions. When I first started building websites, it was me asking the question. Now, after 20 years in the website business, I believe I have answered this question more times than the Army asked me my Social Security number (and that's a lot). It was 1996 and the popularity of the public web was growing rapidly with aol and yahoo leading the way. I worked for a small internet magazine in Oklahoma and had an idea for a website. My idea was to take a database of local businesses with websites and stick them into a searchable online website. I couldn't find a designer that could do what I wanted to do, let alone a cost estimate.  Thus began my journey to learn html, php and sql; the lang
