The updated/revised plan for the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) Local Area EAS plan has been approved by the State of California. KMJ-AM ran its final RMT on December 25th at 4:00 AM. KMJ will no longer be initiating the bi-monthly RMT. KVPR-FM will be taking over the responsibilities. Stations will need to update their receiving equipment to monitor KVPR 89.3 FM. The NWS will continue the odd-month RWTs. KMJ retains the LP-1 station designation. KVPR-FM (89.3) is the LP-2. Copies of the Revised SJV EAS Local Plan will be available at the upcoming SBE meeting on Thursday December 27th.
