For non-PIC pilots, LAHSO preparation begins before the announcement on which information channel?

Explanation:
LAHSO readiness hinges on knowing the hold-short options before talking to the tower. The place pilots get that initial information is the ATIS or AWOS broadcast. By listening to ATIS/AWOS, a non-PIC can learn whether a LAHSO hold-short is available, which runway is in use, the exact hold-short point, and any additional restrictions. This lets you plan and be prepared to accept or decline the LAHSO clearance when the tower issues it. The tower will provide the actual clearance, but the opportunity and details come from the ATIS/AWOS broadcast. Unicom, ground control, and tower frequency themselves do not furnish the LAHSO availability ahead of time.
