USCG Group New York
Since the plane went down in the Hudson the other day I have noticed Group NY using automated message announcements. The initial broadcast on 16 and the one that follows on 22A are both recorded and in that same Perfect Paul synthesized voice used by the National Weather Service for their broadcasts. These periodically repeated broadcasts are in regard to an engine posing a navigation hazard and divers looking for submerged wreckage. This is something new, whether they continue to use automation time will tell.
