Whether you think so or not, a portable TV that can receive current
information in an emergency situation is a necessity, not a nicety.
It is ONE of many sources of information. It is NOT a necessity, any
more than cable or DBS are a necessity. There are two real issues
here:
1. Is SOMEONE in your community providing the emergency information
you need during a crisis?
2.Do you have the ability to receive this information.
Come down out of the clouds and remember that the original intent of
a broadcast license was 'to serve the public interest, necessity and
convenience'. Now, because so few radio stations are locally
programmed, TV is the only good source of 'local
specific' information in an emergency.
This HAS NOT been my experience. In my experience radio has done a
better job than TV in dealing with these issues IN THIS AREA. Your
actual experience may vary based on actual market conditions.
