Actually, there was provision for the BBC to broadcast emergency news from the 1960's onward. The Brits didn't bother with switching radio transmitter facilities every five seconds, though. I think television stations also were to remain on air warning of incoming nukes as long as possible as well. The BBC also had provision for emergency radio stations with transmitters somehow kept completely underground for after a nuke bombing. I don't know how they dealt with the pesky problem of also having the antenna underground which would have greatly kneecapped the station's transmission range.

I used to work at a station where the AM transmitter was 5 kw and from about the same time period. It was the size of a minivan, but considerably heavier. From what I was told by some of the old-timers there, they laid the slab for the foundation, put the transmitter in, and then built the building around it

Nope, it was stopped in 1963 as missile replaced bombers, so the Conelrad system had no use (it was mainly to prevent bomber to home in using radio signals from the "non-conelrad" stations).

The story with CONELRAD is much better and more interesting than the version that exists now, but an advanced warning system, especially one that's effective during the much more frequent (than nuclear attack, anyways) natural disasters like tornados and hurricanes is so much more helpful. This is probably the ONLY modern thing I will freely agree is better than any obsolete version for everyone.

It was to keep as much radio frequency space open for emergency communications and also to confuse the Soviet Union tracking radar on the US by changing back & forth between 2 radio stations every few minutes to make it harder (or so they thought) for them to hone in on our signal & location. (It reportedly had so many unknown issues that it wouldn't have worked then anyway.) By Federal law & FCC mandate if this would've happened every station (TV, radio, amateur, CB, etc.) would all be required to immediately cease all use except for a select few frequencies for emergency messages

Dot Matrix The whole point of CONELRAD was to provide well-known frequencies for information and instructions, while simultaneously shutting down as much radio traffic as possible. Ideally, there'd only be ONE frequency, but having two provides a critical backup, as well as providing generous range overlap, to allow the messages to reach as much of the population as possible with minimum radio traffic for the enemy to home in on.

Scott Hoagland The Pentagon realized fairly early that it was possible to use the CONELRAD system to locate cities using - I want to say ganged ADF receivers; I don’t have my reference with me at 4 AM. After the fall of Communism, it turned out that the Red Army figured it out before they did. It hardly matters, since Sputnik made the entire program obsolescent. Even if Sputnik had never launched, though, it’s likely something new would have been developed. CONELRAD tests involved the station switching its transmitter on and off fairly rapidly, which often resulted in stations going off the air for days because some tube blew out. (The entire reason we have or had daytime TV, the Indian head test pattern, the Tea Time Movie, Thought For The Day, Saturday morning cartoons, etc., is because old tube transmitters don’t like to be switched on or off. It was cheaper to waste electricity and put something on the air (if only a test pattern or old movie) than to shut the transmitter down during the day and risk blowing an expensive tube.)

I'm making a radio show like this for my new EAS concept I plan to propose. Project EAS is for your benefit--"Less Scary, More Informative". You won't get scared for a test, and in an emergency like an air attack, there will be a special "Emergency Mode" to alert TV and radio listeners of any emergency info. The first show will explain how the Emergency Action Notification alert (classified in Code Black) will be received and what to do when you hear the siren on TV or radio. This new EAS is based on an idea I got from a guy named kaizersolze. He did the basic design and I am improving his idea. However, with my current movie under production, Project EAS will be a little delayed for now, but (spoiler) it will be seen in that movie. Also, something new is that the outdoor warning sirens are equipped with colored lights to show the severity of the problem and will flash until the "all clear".

The heavens declare the glory of the Bomb, and the firmament showeth Its handiwork. Glory be to the Bomb, and to the Holy Fallout. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. World without end. May the Blessings of the Bomb Almighty, and the Fellowship of the Holy Fallout, descend upon us all. This day and forever more. Amen.

you have to remember that then, when conelrad was introduced, the soviets didn't have that many bombs and their ability to deliver them on target was poor. So most of the country would have not been bombed. Just strategic targets. The rest of the country just had to protect against fallout, which degrades to a relatively safe level after two weeks. Once the Soviets had enough bombs to blanket the country, the survivability of a nuclear war changed.

That record is obnoxious.
