Outdated Logo

If you go to the EAS website, the logo that is included in this article is no longer used. It should probably be deleted, or at least specified that its the old logo. --71.120.74.68 (talk) 21:47, 21 December 2007 (UTC) As of 2020, the logo is now updated. Clockworkv (talk) 14:19, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Clockworkv, I can't find any evidence of a new logo anywhere on the internet. Where do you remember seeing the new logo? DFletcher0306 (talk) 18:56, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. 72.79.50.35 (talk) 17:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the meantime, I added a caption to the image, specifying that it is the old logo. If the date is incorrect, let me know on my talk page.

DBS reqirements?

Hi. I was just wondering because I haven't personally heard anywhere that DBS services such has Directv will have to start doing the EAS alerts. I know someone on here probably knows more about this, because I don't. Will it be like the cable systems, with an all-channel override? I've been a DTV customer and I would be glad if they do start this.

Outdated information

"Digital television, digital cable, XM Satellite Radio, Sirius Satellite Radio, Grendade, Worldspace, IBOC, DAB and digital radio broadcasters will be required to participate in EAS beginning December 31, 2006."

Anyone see the problem here? (Hint: look at the end of my signature.) Anyone have any information on if they are participating or not, so we can sort them accordingly? --_{The preceding signed comment was added by StonedChipmunk and you can contact them here.} 19:04, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Unconfigured EAS interupt screens

I made mockups of 2 screens seen when the TV viewer witnesses an uncoinfigured EAS setup [the red screens], and was wondering if info about them + the images would be appropriate to add to the article. Travelsonic (talk)

Watch Local 58. They are the gods of scary EAS screens

The actual origin of the sound in the 2013 hack

The song shown as the source isn’t the origin of the sound. The sound was created by YouTube user “Tyreehot”, shown here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=KVCLXZ99rps

The video is from 2008, while the song is from 2011. Also, this is the highest quality version of it.

edit request

can you delete all of the eas sounds and replace it with placeholder ones 72.94.190.201 (talk) 13:44, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
