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

[Mike McCarthy]

Even less so if there is no news presentation at the station itself. With
so much news presentation farmed out to commercial news rooms partnered
with traffic reporting, it's even less likely a suitable person would be
in house to present or anchor such coverage.

And those stations which did provide such coverage had suitable news staff
available...in house. Going forward with the elimination of the main
studio, I see an overall further decline in radio in-house produced news.
