Zusammenfassung:	A method of communicating an emergency alert includes receiving, by a central content controller (CCC), audiovisual (AV) content from a plurality of sources, determining existence of one or more emergency alerts, encoding the content to form a first stream type and transmitting the first stream type to regional controllers (RCs) associated with a respective market area (MA) if no alerts exist, determining, if an alert exist, a market area for the alert, encode the content and the alert to form a second stream type, transmit the second stream type to a RC associated with a MA for which the alert is applicable and encode the content to form the first stream and transmit the first stream type to RCs associated with a MA without an alert, and broadcast, as AV signals, the received stream types by the RC.
