`ABSTRACT
`
`A system and method of broadcast messaging for providing a broadcast message to a
`
`broadcast target area including a broadcast admission control module receiving the broadcast
`
`message record having a broadcast message, a defined broadcast target area, and a broadcast
`
`message originator identifier. The broadcast admission control module validating the
`
`broadcast message record as a function one or more of the broadcast message originator
`
`identifier, the broadcast target area, and a broadcast message transmission network parameter
`
`associated with a broadcast transmission network adapted for broadcasting the message to at
`
`least a portion of the broadcast target area. The broadcast admission control module
`
`generating a validated broadcast message record as a function of the validating. The system
`
`also includes a broadcast message distributor module receiving the validated broadcast
`
`message record and transmitting the broadcast message and the broadcast target area, or a
`
`part thereof, to an output interface distributing the broadcast message to at least a portion of
