Here is the CFR citation:

 

Title 47--Telecommunication

CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

PART 11--EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM (EAS)

 

§ 11.45 Prohibition of false or deceptive

EAS transmissions.

No person may transmit or cause to

transmit the EAS codes or Attention

Signal, or a recording or simulation

thereof, in any circumstance other

than in an actual National, State or

Local Area emergency or authorized

test of the EAS. Broadcast station licensees

should also refer to § 73.1217 of

this chapter.

 

 

Sounds like both are in trouble if this thing takes off 
.

 

I would pull this advertisement immediately if it were me.

Most definitely.  The licensee is responsible for anything which emanates
from that antenna.

The FCC has no handle on an advertiser.  The licensee is firmly in their
grip.

Would liability fall on the broadcast licensee/s rather than their client
(BP/Arco)? 
I am inclined to believe that the liability for this violation would fall on
the broadcast licensee/s.
