This is a Test.
This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. This is only a test.
[INSERT 8-25 SECONDS OF A TWO-TONE “ATTENTION SIGNAL” (853 Hz and 960 HZ) AS PER SECTION 73.906 OF THE RULE, EFFECTIVE APRIL 16,1976.]
This has been a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. Broadcasters, in cooperation with the FCC and other federal, state and local authorities, have developed this system to keep you informed in the event of an emergency.
If this had been an actual emergency, the Attention Signal you just heard would have been followed by official information, news, or instructions.
