The radio community has implemented automatic Emergency Alert Systems to take human error out of alerts. Now if we can only get the people who issue the alerts to do what's right. Somebody from management probably stepped in and said "Let's not get any bad publicity from this, so don't tell anyone". What was the name of that movie...the China Syndrome?

Please forgive my horn-tooting here, but to readers of The Standard-Speaker, this is old news. In the original story about the incident -- which we carried on page on above the fold -- I wrote of the confusion, as Butler and Sugarloaf Township (and it sounded like Nescopeck and/or Black Creek as well) did not have the latest manual. 9-1-1 referred to incident example OA-7, and both said their edition didn't have an OA-7. I included that in the original story which ran Thursday. Then, Thursday afternoon, I called around. Commissioner Steve Urban told me he'd try to find out what happened. Later Thursday, he called me back saying PPL had accepted responsibility for the mix-up -- a story the Standard-Speaker ran Friday. So, it appears Channel 16's invesgiation was reading what we'd written and perhaps adding to it, a day later. Still, give them credit for running it at all -- to my knowledge, no other media outlet has touched it. And while Wednesday night's incident wasn't a big deal -- what if it had been and a few of the 19 affected municipalities didn't have the latest information?

Please check wnep.com and the tapes. WNEP ran the story Thursday, not Friday as you claim.

Great reporting L.A. Kevin and Nancy talked about it
on their show on Friday morning but did no attribution
to any news organ.

I stand corrected then, I was under the impression WNEP ran it Friday. Also, I understand someone at Rock 107 talked about it Friday as well, though I didn't hear it.
