Default Emergency Alert Systems
The FCC requires cable systems to have an EAS system to broadcast alerts for weather, an amber alert or a national emergency. When a broadcaster sends an alert the system "locks" on a certain channel until the alert is over. Comcast must use WGN.. our cable system uses the weather channel.
