[EAS] [SPAM] [10.8] RWT embedded announcement

[felucia at att.net]

An idea discussed many years ago with NWS was to see if it was possible to get a scanner that looked for EAS/SAME bits across the AM, FM, TV, NWR and cable spectrums.

That's a true observation. You made me think of a way to alleviate this.
Possibly one of the "time squeezer" units such as 25-Seven Systems audio
time manager, controlled by the ENDEC itself could make it so an EAS
activation never again cuts out broadcast material.

The cost of silicon goes down every year. Maybe the time compression
function should be integrated into the EAS box itself. What a sales
tool... "Our EAS units will never cause the broadcaster to skip over
broadcast audio".

After decades of use, they are conditioned to expect something important
when a data burst or attention tone interrupts a song or ball game.

Uh.....

Most are conditioned to be P.O'd when it interrupts a ball game !
