The
Texas Association of Broadcasters acts as coordinator for the Emergency
Alert System. This year’s schedule
marks a departure from the previous few years, as the times for the tests
are given in two-hour increments instead of specifying the minute.
Under
this schedule, the Primary Entry Points, KTRH in Houston and WBAP in Dallas/Ft.
Worth, will transmit the RMT some time during this two-hour window. TSN will also transmit a test during this window
of time, at times independently of KTRH and WBAP. Should a station fail to receive an RMT, a
note should be logged to that effect, in order to comply with FCC regulations.
