A random youtube post of the most recent RMT from DirecTV on
September 27, 2016. I don't understand why, but people seem to regularly
post all sorts of things on youtube including EAS tests and alerts from
all over the country.

There are some youtube encoding artifacts at the beginning and end, i.e.
it speeds up and slows down.
In 2016, the LA County Sheriff's audio quality has greatly improved
improved, at least via DirecTV. However it sounds like DirectTV is still
experiencing the double attention signal with its national feed of the
RMT. Since DirecTV has 25 million subscribers, its just unlucky for the
Los Angeles County sheriff that a lot of people hear him all over the
country.
More people heard FEMA's NPT announcement, but how many members of the
public know the name of the FEMA employee that voiced either the english or
spanish version of the NPT?
You can also find many videos of the September 28, 2016 National Periodic
Test from around the country; including silence, random songs and rush
limbaugh. As I said before, youtube tends to focus on the bad and
unusual. There are also several successful NPT videos posted on youtube.
