this is quite possibly one of the weirdest/randomest things i've ever posted about but.
i watched a few video essays about the EAS system recently, and i keep thinking: is there a way that it'll be updated to account for streaming being used more often over regular TV channels that can present the EAS alerts?
as far as i've seen, i can imagine it'd be difficult to present EAS alerts through streaming services, given the wide geographic range of streaming services versus especially local TV channels and radio stations. maybe sending it to phones, like amber alerts?
idk i've been thinking about that a lot since watching the videos. kinda hard to send alerts out to help everyone if the modality is somewhat outdated
