[EAS] FCC Seeks Comment on Multilingual EAS

[Tim Stoffel]

As a PBS member station, we do many things for our community. But one of them is not giving the news. We would be expecting a lot of an evening/weekend master control operator to, in addition to their other duties, go out on a set and give details on the emergency-- all by themselves. And what about at night, when we run without a human being in the control room?

Goat bars, anyone?  ;)

        Well, that *would* be in the spirit of serving  
        the community of license. 

        Yes, I agree, many, many broadcasters do no
        more than give lip service to the community
        (no pun intended).
