Yes, the advertising display coordinator for Walgreen's subscribed to the IPAWS All-Hazards Information Feed for the purpose of displaying AMBER Alerts. Pretty nifty, eh?

Today I was stopped at a red light and noticed the big LED sign at Walgreens across the street.  It was mostly going through "buy me" 
stuff but then it changed to an AMBER ALERT with all of the details.

Wow!

No radio stations were harmed in the process.
