All
Please confirm that your stations have not added this PSA as a filler, as this could be an issue.
New Ad Council spot includes illegal use of the EAS tone
The Ad Council has distributed PSAs titled "Wireless Alerts - Sounds in your life" - these spots include an EAS tone. This use of an EAS tone can result in an FCC fine per the following regulation:
§ 11.45 Prohibition of false or deceptive EAS transmissions.
No person may transmit or cause to transmit the EAS codes or Attention Signal, or a recording or simulation thereof, in any circumstance other than in an actual National, State or Local Area emergency or authorized test of the EAS. Broadcast station licensees should also refer to § 73.1217 of this chapter.
