[EAS] EAS is topic of FCC Dec. 14 meeting—NPRM, NOI on agenda

[Dale Lamm]

>NPRM says: It would also "propose to require that stations check for and use the available CAP versions of all State and Local Area alerts(which includes alerts issued by the National Weather Service) instead of the legacy EAS versions, to increase the use of CAP in light of CAP's superior visual messaging capabilities."

Curious whether any locations in the US are getting their NWS alerts via CAP today. Our market still relies on VHF broadcasts from NOAA.
