[EAS] Annoucment for radio?

[Richard Rudman]

Dave is right.

For radio, all we have to do when the test starts is observe what happens, and be prepared to perform an EAN "Abort" procedure if for some reason you box does not hear the EOM that will be sent at the end of the test.

TV and cable will hopefully, like Alaska, put up a visual that says its a test to mitigate the effects of people reading the screen with the sound turned down and people who are hearing impaired just reading an EAS SAME box-generated crawl.

If this is truly to be a benchmark test of basic, existing EAN propagation, we should just let it happen, make sure our stations do return to normal programming, and then report what happens.
