Reply to comment by andrwsc in Three seconds of audio could end up costing Fox $500,000 by blaspheminCapn

Given the story of that movie it makes complete sense to have the tones in it. And a film isn't a broadcast. You know there's no real alert breaking in to the theater screen.

But I guess I can see why you can't have them in the trailer.

Yeah exactly. That’s what happens when you have someone in cinema post-production making a trailer edit without understanding broadcast standards.

I mean, you can blame them. but ultimately someone at the network fucked up by not requesting a copy with that edited out (im also assuming they have quality control and review materials before airing them).

honestly i didnt know this about EAS until now, but judging from the comments from people who have worked in broadcasting it seems to be common knowledge, so seems like the blame lies with the network more so than the person chopping movie clips for advertising.
