89.1 WUFT-HD4 Gainesville-Ocala is the launch (and flagship) station for BEACON (Broadcast Emergency Alerts and Communications Operations Network).

 

This is the first I've ever heard of something like this attempted, especially with the use of AI to provide a 24/7/365 channel, even when not in an emegency.

 

It does have an app and has targeted streams across Florida (for now) but is pushing for a nationwide expansion next year.
