This false message was carried on our network, as well as some other providers. We apologize to our customers." https://forums.att.com/t5/Features-and-How-To/An-emergency-notification-with-no-emergency/m-p/4134358#M114425 [/quote] So they are saying that all one has to do is take over one single RADIO station and push a button on a EAS box and presto, you are in control of the entire nationwide television network, able to write and broadcast any message you want and the entire nation is a captive audence, well there you go guys. They live. [/quote]
Original Message
Watching tv in Atlanta.
All of a sudden, the emergency alert message came up on the tv saying your channel is about to be forced tuned to a local news station. Then it said " you will receive an emergency action message from the White House".
Channel then changed automatically to a local station and then said " stay tuned for an emergeny alert message".
We have AT&T service and have the option to record any stations, but cannot record what is supposedly about to come on the station. We cannot even change the channel. FUCKING WEIRD!!!
Nothing has happened yet. We are still waiting to see what alert is coming.
Anybody else seeing this?
