[BC] EAS alert tones in movie preview ad

[Craig Bowman]

I do not have the ability to decode the data bursts in my head so it is 
just slow baud rate data to me.  If they do not contain valid header 
information or are not formatted properly are they an alert tone or 
simulation or noise?  Now, if your EAS receiver forwarded the alert 
because of its validity there would be an issue there.
