Anonymous Coward User ID: 40849518 United States 10/24/2014 09:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If the message was from the Fed Gov / the White House / President, local TV stations would likely not know anything anyway. I think the way that system is set up is that "they" just take over the station and air whatever they want with no warning of the content (due to the immediate emergency or timeliness of the issue - kind of like "breaking news") In all likeliness, they were testing the lines for a real announcement later. Not like one of those regularly scheduled interruptions of broadcasts, but a live test before a huge announcement. If this is true, (and several people have conformed it already), folks, We may be getting mega doom this morning! Be on the alert. Stand by.... |

Revbo™ User ID: 16860056 United States 10/24/2014 09:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | perhaps its a dry run so when they need to really use it they know it's functional?? Quoting: Osti could be why its only affecting certain areas/cable providers?? Seems like it would make it pretty clear that it's a test, considering we're on very high alert, here, anyway. If it's not real, they just scared the hell out of a lot of people who have never seen a real activation of the EAS in their lifetimes.

LunaLove User ID: 56990170 United States 10/24/2014 09:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Don't you like government control of your cable TV? Channels so good they have to be mandatory. Reminds me of a scene out of Jericho where the only channel that could be watched was DHS's... then the EMP struck. It's creepy for sure. Nothing here in MI. I'm sure my first reaction would have been fear. -------- You've fallen asleep in denial Look at the way we're dyin' How it ends I'll never know Just live your life blind like me--A7X |

Quoting: Xencx Someone hit the button and unaware... or some dumb thing.. Cause they would of cut to Whitehouse or had a message by now.. If we are waiting on the Whitehouse, this could take hours HAHA true but i'm betting on fuck up or being hacked :) Maybe V is gonna come give us a gift and make the government fear it's people again.. |

Cheyenne User ID: 5100994 United States 10/24/2014 09:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is the EAS Emergency Alert System that was mandated pre 2000 for all broadcasters. Quoting: PIR This is controlled and initiated by the President of the United States. This is not good... But it's not everywhere, so I'm sure it's just a test or malfunction. Or a hack. I've heard these systems were installed in broadcast stations and are remotely controlled - the broadcast staff can be overridden. Unless the staff pulls the plug. 100% Natural Unvaxxed Human Being |

Canuck_Hillbilly User ID: 2757627 Canada 10/24/2014 09:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | An emergency notification with no emergency? I'm getting a message that says the President has requested that we watch our local station. It's force tuned to NBC and we can't change it. I don't see any emergencies, just the Today show. How do I shut this off? thanks. [link to forums.att.com] My opinions are just that. My opinions! Don't like them? Tough! |
