[EAS] Blue Alerts Are Back

[Dave Kline]

I understand the desire to separate Blue from LEW.
But in reality aren't most "philosophical or other" reasons for not airing certain alerts just an extension of not wanting to air any alerts at all? 
Who has management that at least rolls their eyes at the thought of adding more alerts that might interrupt their programming?
