Bill is correct. And the FCC is NOT Playing Games in regards to EAS issues. That spot should be pulled and not aired at all. It's our license at stake, Not ARCO's if we broadcasters let something this foolish go out of our TX chain.

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.
