@jays77 : That to me would indicate that, although the alert blocked out the entire programme you recorded and was not a crawl, it was still generated by the channel/broadcaster and not Rogers, since the Rogers alert would have blocked out the live programme you were watching.
Of course, Rogers must display alerts according to instructions by the organization generating the alert and if they say it should go province-wide, then Rogers must comply even if there is only a small area of potential impact (like the Tornado in Oro-Medonte). For example, the police often generate a province-wide Amber Alert, even if the "abduction" took place in Thunder Bay, 1300 km from Toronto...
Agreed, i think more were form the STATIONS themselves.
We were watching a recording of Elementry which was airing at that time.
And it came up with the full page cover over for the warning.
And it had the date that it was aired.
So it came from the station
Here are my results. I got the alert at 13:56.
iPhone 5S: I normally have this phone's ringer turned off, but I thought I'd turn it on today for the test. It was pretty loud alright. The alert writing was pretty small and difficult to read due to the colour combination (black print on grey background) and fairly small print. Noise stopped when I hit the home button.
Rogers 4290 STB: This STB is connected to a stereo receiver to listen to Stingray and it also went off at 13:56 a few seconds after the phone. I hit the exit key and the noise went away - good.
Rogers 9865 PVR: I turned on and looked at the PVR at around 14:05. The (red/white with scroll) notice took up part of the screen near the bottom and went away when I hit the exit key. I had scheduled two recordings for that time as a test and neither recording contained the alert - good.
