Seems like the golden-thread between all those state is recent news about ebola. I didn't even know they could "force re-tune" one's TV. Glad I don't watch TV anymore. I would have found this to be very upsetting-- especially if they didn't tell me why the hell they were f'ing with my TV! Thanks for the thread OP...very strange!

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64482854 This is STANDARD PROTOCOL anytime the emergency alert system needs to be activated - it will interrupt programming! SHEESH. You do realize that it can only happen by the president's authority (supposedly)? So this is more than someone pressing the wrong button or some hack. So at it stands currently, this is an anomaly that's hard to explain. I'm wondering if maybe something happened to the president, and in panic he activated it in hopes that people would figure that sh*t is going down? Or someone trying to warn people about something about to go down? The last one would be harder to believe though because they'd have to somehow hijack the system. Overall very strange. |

It has to be activated by the white house. Obviously it was a tactic to get something or someone to back down. Russian planes may have been masking in the air, or Bermuda may have been threatening to attack, something is out of sort. War Eagle |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64482854 This is STANDARD PROTOCOL anytime the emergency alert system needs to be activated - it will interrupt programming! SHEESH. SHEESH. This was an EMERGENCY ACTION NOTIFICATION. Here, read about it: [link to en.wikipedia.org] It's different than your usual EAS broadcast, which kicks on if your area is being threatened by a tornado or whatever. It's something only the White House can initiate, as others have already pointed out. It FORCED people's TV's to certain stations. This isn't some vague rumor, it was widely recorded and reported. Made the day's news in many areas, because people understandably called radio and TV stations to find out what the hell was going on. Now, 24 hours later, we still don't know what happened. The WH is flatly refusing to discuss it, which makes me think there was some colossal fuckup there they want to keep under wraps. Either that, or the system was somehow hacked...possibly by "White Hat" hackers who wanted to call attention to the system's vulnerabilities. Is that possible? I don't know, honestly, but I will try to find out. I do know this much...this story about a nebulous "syndicated radio show" somehow triggering the thing? Yeah...

Possibly the "sound byte" he had wasn't quite what he thought he had. It was something with the ability to trip the EAN, perhaps?
