[BC] EAS alert tones in movie preview ad

[Broadcast List USER]

If it is a network ad, playing live from a network, I would agree,  
though the network doesn't have the stations' best interests at heart,  
which they should.  However, it should only air once.  Stations SHOULD  
have people listening to them, though it is obvious that many do not!

If it is a spot delivered into the station, and someone dubs it to  
cart, or into the automation system, I disagree.  Those spots must be  
listened to for quality control, so the duck farts should be noted and  
the spot fixed before it hits the air.
