[EAS] Annoucment for radio?

[Kluger, Michael]

Thank you to everyone who responded to my inquiry about the existence of an additional announcement for radio.  I subsequently received the following e-mail from David Oxenford, who was the author of the blog article which I had referred to:

Michael - you are correct.  There is no other announcement for radio.  There had been some talk about a suggestion for some sort of disclaimer after the test ("that was just a test - don't panic") kind of thing, but there seems to be no follow up on that as the EAN message, as published in the handbook, seems to cover it.  

I'll clarify the Blog entry.  Thanks for pointing this out

The article on broadcastlawblog.com (at the link shown below) states:

"... and also providing a suggested slide for TV stations to air during the test itself.  The message to be aired by radio stations will be provided soon."

Does anyone here know anything about a message, other than the actual relay of the test, being required to be aired on radio stations?

This is the first that I am hearing about this.  Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Mike
