>From Ed Czarnecki:
That's an interesting comment from Al K.  I would note that I got several
inquiries from video providers (not just TV) about the FCC's "friendly
reminder" about accessibility.  That might also have confused things from
some folks, who voiced questions about the standard EAS text not matching
the voice content of the message.  
------
Our local TV stations ran the crawl over programming, with no other graphics
or displays. In my opinion, the crawl ran too quickly for anyone to read.
One station had no audio, just the crawl. I haven't heard how the cable
providers displayed the test.
