[EAS] Premiere Radio Networks still a national source?

[Dan Kelley]

The rumour was they were pretty unreliable with EAS alerts and I stopped suggesting them to our LP stations here in Michigan.  I sense it was a project of someone at the network at one time, but I've been wrong before.

IMHO, if they don't test, they can't be counted on.  Ideally, RWTs should include a voice message whose audio level is the same as their normal programming audio, for ease of setting decoder audio levels.
