[EAS] EAS on Internet Streams

[Adrienne Abbott]

EAS equipment was supposed to be the last thing in the broadcast chain
before the signal went to the transmitter. That way activations could take
over the program signal, especially in automated operations, so the signal
for the Internet feed would come off before the EAS equipment. That means
that the duck quacks and attention signal don't get on the Internet feed
unless someone is using a true "off air" feed and not a program feed for the
Internet.

constant attention, but we love it." Jim Aaron WGLN

The internet goes everywhere.  It goes places that the eas alert would not
cover.

Hmmmm.
I wonder how much of that is accidental?
I just realized that our stream is feed from an output of the Orban
which is pre-EAS box.
Might just be that a lot of folks are set the same way.
I had spare outs on my Orban and just used that for the stream. Quick
& convenient.
But as you suggest, maybe not the best practice.

and speaking of audio interrupts...
Just the other day I was contemplating commercial inserts on the
stream over our underwriting.
Can a non-com do that?
