Full-Power AM/FM Severe Weather Ready

License: For full-power FCC-licensed AM and FM broadcast stations only. Not licensed for LPFM stations or streaming stations. For streaming stations, see Streaming Severe Weather Ready: payhip.com/b/AIBjx. If you operate an LPFM station, see LPFM Severe Weather Ready ($149): payhip.com/b/5Ak2J. Purchasing this license for non-qualifying use does not grant those rights.

NWS issues a watch, warning, or advisory for your coverage area. Full-Power AM/FM Severe Weather Ready writes the copy in your station's style, produces the audio, and drops the finished file into your designated folder.

You enter your zip code and coverage radius. The software identifies the counties in your signal area and monitors NWS alerts for those counties. You choose which watches, warnings, and advisories to monitor. When one hits a county in your coverage area, the file is delivered to your designated folder, ready to broadcast.

EAS Alerts -- optional, and off until you switch it on

Weather is not the only thing a station has to relay. Missing children, civil emergencies, chemical spills, evacuation orders and 911 outages all go out from government agencies through the national alerting system. Full-Power AM/FM Severe Weather Ready can write and voice those too, and deliver the finished file to your designated folder ready to broadcast.

• Optional. Leave it switched off and nothing changes.
• You choose which emergency alert types to monitor, by name, on their own setup step.
• Filtered to the counties you already selected. National alerts are not filtered by county.
• No account and no extra key. The feed is public and free.
• A Run Test EAS Alert button, so you can hear one before you trust it.

Long quiet stretches are normal here. An hour or a week can pass with nothing at all. That means nothing has happened, not that something is broken.

Full-Power AM/FM Severe Weather Ready is not EAS equipment. It does not transmit EAS signalling and it never sounds the SAME data tones. It writes and voices the alert the same way it does a weather warning.

You bring your own API keys for AI copy writing (Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Google Gemini, or Radio Voice Forge Community Provided) and text-to-speech (ElevenLabs, OpenAI TTS, Google TTS, or Radio Voice Forge Community Provided). No RadioReadyWare subscription. Works with folder-based playout software.

Free AI writing and voices, sponsored by the community. Radio Voice Forge sponsors an AI writer and a set of radio voices for independent stations, completely free. They run around the clock. Jeff Hansen at Radio Voice Forge issues the keys himself and is happy to send you one -- email him, tell him about your station, and paste the key into the setup wizard. It is experimental and it is working beautifully. You can also bring your own keys from Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, ElevenLabs or Google, and switch whenever you like.

Built for FCC-licensed AM/FM stations that cover multiple counties and need life-safety alerts ready to broadcast without a full-time staff to make it happen.
