  • tests prior to discarding them. However, there were no such messages in station KMZE's files. According to Omni's program logs, no weekly tests were transmitted between January 28 and February 17, 2008. Licensees are not informed of the exact time at which monthly EAS tests are sent. Similarly, licensees cannot predict when actual emergencies will occur. See 47 C.F.R. � 11.51(k)(2). Although Omni asserts that its station was staffed by personnel during the times the station was in operation, its staff was not closely monitoring for EAS monthly tests, as the station failed to transmit any monthly EAS tests between January and June 2007.

Section 11.35(a) of the Rules requires all broadcast stations to ensure that EAS encoders, EAS decoders and attention signal generating and receiving equipment is installed and operational so that the monitoring and transmitting functions are available during the times the station is in operation.

KFTU was also multicasting, using a second program stream to provide Univision programming to the viewing public. Any viewers of this program stream would have been unaware of any EAS alerts or messages, as no EAS equipment was connected. As stated in 11.51(c) of the Rules, all DTV broadcast stations must transmit EAS messages on all program streams. The engineering staff of KFTU acknowledged to the San Diego agents that KFTU's EAS equipment may have been experiencing technical problems on the day of the inspection, and admitted that the second program stream had no connection to KFTU EAS equipment.

  • OF APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE Adopted: June 6, 2011 Released: June 7, 2011 By the District Director, Atlanta Office, South Central Region, Enforcement Bureau: INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL''), we find that Comcast of Alabama, Inc., (``Comcast''), operator of a cable television system in Florence, Alabama, apparently willfully and repeatedly violated sections 11.35(a) and 11.51(h) of the Commission's rules (``Rules'') by failing to ensure that emergency alerts system (``EAS'') messages were transmitted properly to certain customers. We conclude that Comcast is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of sixteen thousand dollars ($16,000). BACKGROUND 2. On January 3, 2011, the Enforcement Bureau's Atlanta Office (``Atlanta Office'') received a complaint that a Comcast customer in

However, as JMK points out, WPWC's EAS equipment is installed at the station's transmitter site and operates automatically with the capability of a remote control override. WPWC's EAS set-up is consistent with Section 11.51(m) of the Rules which permits automatic operation of the EAS system by broadcast stations that use remote control.

The Petersons argue that their method sharing of EAS equipment, and running EAS tests, with a station which was previously co-owned with KBSZ(AM) was in ``technical compliance'' with the Commission's EAS Rules. This is incorrect. As the San Diego Office correctly stated in the NAL, Section 11.51(j) of the Rules allows broadcast stations that are co-owned and co-located with a combined studio or control facility to provide EAS for the combined stations with one EAS encoder. Section 11.51(j), however, does not contemplate stations that are co-located, but not co-owned, sharing EAS equipment. In the present case, KBSZ(AM) and KSWG(FM) are neither co-owned nor co-located. Therefore, KBSZ(AM) is

According to Omni's program logs, no weekly tests were transmitted between January 28 and February 17, 2008. Licensees are not informed of the exact time at which monthly EAS tests are sent. Similarly, licensees cannot predict when actual emergencies will occur. See 47 C.F.R. � 11.51(k)(2). Although Omni asserts that its station was staffed by personnel during the times the station was in operation, its staff was not closely monitoring for EAS monthly tests, as the station failed to transmit any monthly EAS tests between January and June 2007.

  • OF APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE Adopted: June 6, 2011 Released: June 7, 2011 By the District Director, Atlanta Office, South Central Region, Enforcement Bureau: INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL''), we find that Comcast of Alabama, Inc., (``Comcast''), operator of a cable television system in Florence, Alabama, apparently willfully and repeatedly violated sections 11.35(a) and 11.51(h) of the Commission's rules (``Rules'') by failing to ensure that emergency alerts system (``EAS'') messages were transmitted properly to certain customers. We conclude that Comcast is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of sixteen thousand dollars ($16,000). BACKGROUND 2. On January 3, 2011, the Enforcement Bureau's Atlanta Office (``Atlanta Office'') received a complaint that a Comcast customer in

We agree with commenters that the public interest will be served by amending Part 11 to allow broadcast stations to provide the highest quality audio available to them during a national emergency. Because National Primary broadcast stations will still be required to relay all national EAS messages in accordance with Section 11.51 of the Rules, this amendment will not compromise the integrity of the EAS system or prevent those broadcast stations that do not have access to alternative audio feeds from transmitting presidential EAS messages to the public. One commenter cautions that we must ensure that lengthy delays do not result because broadcast stations are waiting for audio feeds from alternative sources.

Section 11.51(j), however, does not contemplate stations that are co-located, but not co-owned, sharing EAS equipment. In the present case, KBSZ(AM) and KSWG(FM) are neither co-owned nor co-located.

According to Omni's program logs, no weekly tests were transmitted between January 28 and February 17, 2008. Licensees are not informed of the exact time at which monthly EAS tests are sent. Similarly, licensees cannot predict when actual emergencies will occur. See 47 C.F.R. S: 11.51(k)(2). Although Omni asserts that its station was staffed by personnel during the times the station was in operation, its staff was not closely monitoring for EAS monthly tests, as the station failed to transmit any monthly EAS tests between January and June 2007.

WPWC's EAS set-up is consistent with Section 11.51(m) of the Rules which permits automatic operation of the EAS system by broadcast stations that use remote control. Further, although the NAL appears to cite JMK for not monitoring its primary EAS source and having its EAS equipment improperly tuned to its secondary EAS source, no separate violation of Section 11.52(d) of the Rules6 was noted.

The Petersons argue that their method sharing of EAS equipment, and running EAS tests, with a station which was previously co-owned with KBSZ(AM) was in "technical compliance" with the Commission's EAS Rules. This is incorrect. As the San Diego Office correctly stated in the NAL, Section 11.51(j) of the Rules allows broadcast stations that are co-owned and co-located with a combined studio or control facility to provide EAS for the combined stations with one EAS encoder. Section 11.51(j), however, does not contemplate stations that are co-located, but not co-owned, sharing EAS equipment. In the present case, KBSZ(AM) and KSWG(FM) are neither co-owned nor co-located. Therefore, KBSZ(AM) is

According to Omni's program logs, no weekly tests were transmitted between January 28 and February 17, 2008. Licensees are not informed of the exact time at which monthly EAS tests are sent. Similarly, licensees cannot predict when actual emergencies will occur. See 47 C.F.R. S: 11.51(k)(2). Although Omni asserts that its station was staffed by personnel during the times the station was in operation, its staff was not closely monitoring for EAS monthly tests, as the station failed to transmit any monthly EAS tests between January and June 2007.
