[EAS] New EAS Forum posting on Intermediary Devices

Actual goals include but are not limited to getting warning details in video crawls so the hearing impaired community can benefit more than the "canned" SAME EAS code messages. While a lot of video sources certainly do expanded warning information on their own, let's not loose sight of assuring that the best possible warning information gets on the air at 3 AM.

Clay or someone else from WA State may want to comment about the value of text-to-speech (TTS) as a needed and valuable component of CAP. 

We may have to wait a while for Clay to chime in. Last I heard he is snow-challenged at the moment.
