[EAS] "improving" EAS?

[Dave Kline]

Fine print. "up to 24-hours to report... AFTER IT'S DISCOVERED."
So no. You wouldn't have to check the log each day.
You are required to review the log on a weekly basis.
If during that review, which most likely wouldn't happen until sometime during the following week, you discover a false alert was sent, then you have twenty-four hours from that point. Right?

Of course, it is quite unlikely that a false alert would go un-noticed for that long.

Hello
Hi, this Joe over at KEAS-FM, did you just send out a missile alert?
OH S***!
Now you have twenty-four hours.

But yeah! I agree with you that the more crap the feds throw on the EAS pile, the more stations will back away from all but the mandatory alerts.

The FCC adopted an order that gives any EAS participant including any radio and TV stations up to 24-hours to report to the FCC's operation center after it's discovered they transmitted or sent a false alert to the public.
