NYC EAS SYSTEM ERROR
STATUS INFORMATION |
|
WOR Successfully originated the
NYC Monthly EAS test at 1318 hours: message effective until 1511
hours.
***** There apparently has been
a misunderstanding with WNYC-FM's monitoring assignments, and
they did NOT receive the test from WOR - and therefore, can't
retransmit it, causing a break in the chain. We have asked
WABC to originate a Monthly. Please be patient. *****
WOR is waiting for confirmation
that WNYC-FM is now monitoring WOR - and WOR will resend the
Monthly (with correct time changes in place) when that occurs.
Please stand by.
WOR resent the Monthly test at
1520. It is valid until 1712. WNYC-FM should forward
it by 1620PM.

report a problem with reception of a Monthly test
| A new NYC LECC has been
formed and is working on changes to the NYC EAS layout. We are
presently working on:
|
- Finalization of the 2010 EAS
Test Schedule
- Modifications to the NYC EAS
Plan
- A change in LP-1 stations -
dropping one AM and replacing it with another, and adding
two FM stations as designated LP-1 stations.
- Working with the City to
develop a testing schedule between them and the LP-1
stations so there are no surprises on Monthly Test day.
- Putting together a reporting
form here on this page so that, if you do not receive a
Monthly test as scheduled, you can report this fact to the
LECC and we can take steps to find out what happened.
- If a problem occurs with a
Monthly test with an LP-1 station, that information will be
posted here on this page so you will know and have the
information for your EAS log.
|
We are looking to have - and
keep - and active LECC in the City of New York. This will allow
us to address any problems that may come up both operationally
and formatically. Please use the repoting form on this page,
and, if you did not receive a Monthly, please check the status
box near the top of this page first to see if your LP-1 reported
a problem sending the test.
YOUR LECC is presently made up of: Tom Ray (WOR
Radio/Chairman, SBE 15), Alex Roman (WABC), Mark Olkowski (CBS
Radio), Chris Tobin (CBS Radio), Kurt Hanson (WABC-TV), Jeff
Baker (WNBC-TV), Bud Williamson (NYS Broadcasters Assn.) and
Dick Novik (NYS Broadcasters Assn.). We will be bringing the
City into the group after we address some of our
broadcast-specific items. We will also be reaching out to the
Cable industry so they have representation.
If you have any EAS questions or problems, we are here for
YOU. Please feel free to contact us. |
