[sbe-eas] FCC Report and Order draft provides time to comply

[Ryan McCauslin]

Michigan stations don't use WEA, and some don't even use EAS for anything
other than mandatory codes. I've seen a couple Amber Alerts, and the
"energy emergency" during that long cold snap in winter 2019.

As for storm watches, I don't recall anyone using EAS, or even EBS for
watches. Just simple crawls on TV, and most likely no mention at all on
radio, unless there was a live DJ that was thoughtful and simply announced
it on air after a song.
