Re: Should Netflix and Hulu give you emergency alerts?

I personally believe apps should not be emitting generic emergency alerts.  Devices should - ex TV, mobile phone, etc. 
if one is watching Hulu, MLB, NFL, or any other app it should not matter as long as device is notifying the user.

There's no technical reason emergency alerts can't be geo located. But advertisers pay for it; emergency alerts 
aren't revenue generating.
