[EAS] Blue Alerts Are Back

[Mike McCarthy]

When the mandate to not carry anything beyond that compelled by rule comes
directly from the licensee or their delegate, it's hard to do anything
more.  Their reasoning is irrelevant and it's their choice to be certain.
This is the case with many stations, both big groups and singletons.

As for the locals, there is a point where it's not worth banging one's
head against an I-Beam.

I will say some underlying cause for this is message flooding from the
NWS.  Particularly with SVR's where any number of them are issued for the
same regional/metro area as storms progress. After any number of separate
warnings for the same cell(s) and/or line, it gets really old...fast.
