CBS Fined

Variety reports:

"The Federal Communications Commission continues to crack down on misuse of the Emergency Alert System tone on television.
The government agency has proposed a $272,000 fine against CBS Broadcasting for allegedly airing a simulated emergency alert tone during a nationally televised episode of “Young Sheldon” on April 12, 2018.
The episode “included a sound effect accompanying a tornado warning, which the producers modified, but still audibly resembled actual EAS tones,” said the FCC in a release regarding the proposed fine."

      CBS probably won't go out of business because of the fine. The Network reportedly paid Iain Armitage, the 11 year old star of the show, $686,000 for this second season.
