Louisville Radio is pathetic

[kyscott]

Our mock tornado warning was today in Kentucky. It was coded as a real tornado warning in the EAS system so when my weather radio went off, I scanned the radio dial to see how many radio stations would relay it. In Louisville, three of them did. Radio Disney's WDRD, New Albany High School's WNAS and WLRX in Charlestown Indiana. Those were the only three stations I heard. The three local primary stations, WHAS, WAMZ and WDJX had nothing.

I suppose since service to the public dosen't enhance the bottom line anymore, it's gone the way of the 45 RPM record.

Does anyone else have any reports of radio stations relaying the mock drill as they are supposed to?

Insight decided to obliterate all the channels for the INDIANA tornado drill this evening, about 30 minutes ago; about three minutes prior, WAVE was able to spit out the correct crawler, although they did have two false starts.<P ID="signature">______________

WAVG-AM 1450 in Jeffersonville/Louisville ran the EAS Alert of the Indiana tornado drill as well. Although I didn't hear it on the other Louisville stations, I am sure that WHAS-AM 840 and the four Cox stations ran the EAS Alert as well, since they are normally faithful in running EAS Alerts. Also, the four Salem stations normally allow the EAS Alerts to override normal programming simultaneously as well. The EAS Alert didn't last extremely long. So, it was easy to miss it while scanning the dial.
