[EAS] How are you planning to broadcast the September 28 National EAS Test?

[Walter R. Fletcher]

This particular instance the test date is during our fall fund drive.  The
time is going to be during our lunch hour during live-pitching. The
programming folks plan to accommodate it somehow.  That won't
always happen.

A few years ago, a solar outage fell into the same time frame, and
they simply made it into a goal mechanism (see if we can raise $1000
during the outage to help nudge the sun out of the way!).

I know programming is planning to take this more seriously, but they
still see it as an opportunity.
