[EAS] Sage Update Extended

[Dave Kline]

Well based on my recent attempt to contact the FCC to ask EAS
questions, I am not surprised to hear that you got the cold shoulder.
I remember the daze when you could pick up the phone and call Kansas
City or DC and talk to real people about EAS stuff.
Note - That was when KC existed as a real FCC office, not just a flop
house for the Tiger Teams.

So IPTV?? Ioweeja, Illinoisey, Indyanna, Potadaho?
