Post Content
All TV stations are required to do weekly EAS tests, its nothing new. They usually wait until late at night or early in the morning when there are fewer viewers to disrupt.

I wish you were correct. Here in MA, last 2 nights, early morning I have seen them and someone speaks a message. Whereas that seems ordinary, never in my life has an EAS broadcast ever included a vocal message.

note: I worked for the cable company for 6 years, so I have some background with these messages.
 Quoting: Mechatronics


I've been in Arizona, Wisconsin, and Illinois over the years when I've seen these EAS messages. Each time they were accompanied by a voice that says something along the lines of "This is a required weekly test of the Emergency Alert System.....". This is nothing new and nothing out of the ordinary.
