[EAS] What's the point of LP-1s anymore?

[bcstlists at icloud.com]

I think the entire EAS concept is a victim of excessive bureaucracy. It would be better to separate functions. For an EAN event the protocols and daisy chain should be preserved. For local alerting the 'duck farts' don't accomplish much. A daisy chain is really not needed in such cases.

So... with main studios a thing of the past, does the concept of an LP-1 make sense anymore? Seems to me we may have crossed a Rubicon as regards community service and particularly EAS.
