[BC] Regarding Interruptions

[Robert Meuser]

The problem is that a lot of people pay a premium for their DVR service. 
We expect complete intact programs not something that is chopped up with 
4 day old news or out of date EAS alerts. If I lived in a tornado prone 
area and felt I was in jeopardy, I would buy a weather radio. I would 
never depend on over the air broadcast as I know how poorly engineered 
many stations are and would never trust one in an emergency unless it 
was one that I or some other person I trust and respect built. Even then 
stuff happens.
