Wisconsin Emergency Alert System

NEW EAS RULES: In July 2007, the FCC released new EAS rules, creating
what they have dubbed the "Next Generation EAS". The new system is
based on CAP, Common Alerting Protocol. This will most likely mean
new equipment at all broadcast stations and cable operations in the
future. For details on Wisconsin's transition to CAP alerting,
please access the Wisconsin EAS website page
Next Generation EAS Planning for Wisconsin.
