Why not both? Digital is obviously better but analog is painfully simple hence it'll probably be the medium used for transmitting emergency alerts

Because analog takes up the wavelength bandwidth

You don't have to worry about bandwidth when you're 1:many sending out critical information. We're talking about emergency service here, not the everyday "I want 750 different channel options, no commercials, and free"
