Maybe the new TIS stations would broadcast the evacuation routes in the event of a nuclear detonation. Nuclear Detonation Preparedness www.nagc.com  You can send them questions or comments. Thanks Curtis! 73, George S., MN

Oh, good - more clutter.

I think there are different questions to be asked - starting with whether or not the number of such stations broadcasting the same announcements 24/7/365 in continuous loops or rebroadcasting NOAA Weather radio in the same manner serves an purpose at all. It really ins't necessary for them to broadcast at all unless they have something to say, i.e. in the case of some sort of emergency. Then comes the question of whether every small municipality needs to have their own station.

On the FCC web site there is a notice dated 12/30/2010 regarding an
NPRM  (Notice of Proposed Rulemaking) seeking public comment
about expanded used of TIS on the BCB.   Below is an
excerpt: from FCC Web Site:

Tom Jasinski

Joliet

"Generally, the Order and NPRM seeks
public comment on whether the FCC should significantly expand the
scope of permitted communications and alerts by local governments on
TIS stations and what limits if, in any, should be placed on those
noncommercial messages. 
The FCC is also seeking comment on whether TIS power limits
should be modified to reach a larger listening audience in their
coverage area and to what extent TIS broadcast locations should be
expanded without resulting in harmful interference to the
communications of other licensed broadcasters."
