Mine Shows The Visual Info. However there is no audible info. No EAS Header noise. No Attention Signal. No Audio Message. And No SAME EOM.

Mine's the exact opposite; we get the EAS noises, and the audio feed for the severe weather, but nothing visual.   :noexpression:

Mine has the Header then says "The Emergency Alert System has been activated, please tune to Channel 10 for more information on this emergency alert." The visual message has EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM on the top and what ever type of alert it is (Usually Weather Watches in Yellow and Warnings in Red) In english and spanish. then the SAME EOM

I remember back in the late 1990s, KUVN Univision 23 only scrolls the EAS info, and that's it.

We don't even get told what channel to change it to, if there's a warning.  <_<  I swear, our EAS is a malfunctioning piece of crap, because not only does THAT rarely work, but neither do our sirens.   :wacko:  I either have to have it on TWC, a local station, or have my weather radio on to know about any kind of warning.  Not saying that that's a bad thing, but I rarely have all three on, these days.  If there's something big and unexpected moving in the area, I kind of like to know about it.

We get the audible info in our area. Back in the late '90s and early '00s, it used to freak me out.  :wow:

I even called the cable provider and they said that it was in issue with the broadcast source. But every station Source that tested the system on the CATV had no audio
