Um...

waitaholdit!

If it were MY station, I'd be leery of allowing ANYONE other than me or 
my trusted employees to determine what does or does not get on the 
airwaves entrusted to my care...

You guys can do what you want, but...

the EAS procedures need to be clear, concise, and pertinent.  Get 
someone who knows how to write technical manuals for non-technical 
people - definitely NOT a lawyer - to lay out the generic requirements.

Provide for a space therein for the station to insert the specific 
how-to instructions.

Lastly, the much-maligned Public Files...

include an affidavit therein that the management / staff have bee 
properly instructed in the correct method(s) for implementing the EAS at 
need...

but fully automatic?  not while I'm there, anyway.

Maybe if the station's running on autopilot....
