My thought here was more incremental, that by reducing some of the fanfare that precedes an EAS message we might mitigate the effect of multiple interruptions.  As you rightly remind us, the two-tone Attention Signal still had a technical rationale fifteen years ago... I'm just suggesting that it might be time to check back and see if it's still necessary to play eight seconds of it before every alert.
