Bold Gold slammed with 10K fine for EAS violations...

"WWRR in Scranton, Pennsylvania, apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 11.35(a) of
the Commission’s Rules ... by failing to install the required Emergency Alert System (“EAS”) equipment."

That shouldn't be a crime, really. imo
 
Something is wrong there, if the EAS unit was in the WICK studio and properly interupted the program on WWRR, whats the deal? I can remember hooking up an EAS unit that when activated for a test, interupted the audio on 8 stations at the same time! And the EAS unit was located in the engineering room, nothing in the studios at all! The engineer kept the log of the EAS activity. Would be interesting to read more on this.

It only interrupted the program on WWRR if the Scranton studio was enabled and on the air. The report states that the studio in the casino is the live studio, going directly to the transmitter via its own STL. If the casino studio went through the Scranton studio, it would have worked out a little more in their favor, but seeing as they have to manually transfer to the Scranton studio, which can relay the WICK EAS...that's where the problem was.
