[EAS] Jimmy Kimmel Airs WEA EBS Tones---updated

[Mike McCarthy]

About a minute into this evening's show recorded tonight, Jimmy Kimmel's
monologue poked fun at the WEA test and proceeded to air the real tone
bursts. Not some odd combination. These were unmistakably ***the*** EBS
tones.

Moreover within the first 20 minutes of the show, they did the same thing
three separate times with the real tones.

Mind you, this is an ABC production airing on the network. Not some
mindless production house.  And three times no less?????

That cat...er tiger, is out of the bag in the eastern two time zones.

I can hear group managers dialing their lawyers while having palpations or
outright cardiac arrest.

If you're in the western time zones, you have time to catch the show's
beginning and complete monologue. Of if an affiliate airing the show can
be reached, a chance to see them mute the tones on the later western
feeds.
