More digital sillynonsense from Jeff Putz

Saw something during Letterman that I've never heard before. They actually used the EAS for an Amber alert, and detailed everything about the kid, the suspect, his car, etc. That's interesting to me from the standpoint that in the old days you never used the EBS for anything short of a natural disaster or nuclear war.

Once a broadcaster, always a broadcaster.

I saw that last night (I am in Cleveland until Friday afternoon on business).

I thought it was a Ohio thing, because that has never happened in Chicago.

Or that even in New York on 9/11, it wasn't used.

It's used all the time in Michigan whenever a kid goes missing.
