[EAS] EAS TESTS

[Mike McCarthy]

It all depends on the state plan.

RWT-Weekly is typically station managed and there are no EAS rules to
cover non-broadcast originators/partners. It is permissible to have a
joint third party RWT however as long as the arrangement is defined in the
state and/or local plans.

The RMT, OTOH, is defined by the state, and more precisely local plans as
to who originates the test each month and when.
