ETA: Here's a link to an article, brought to my attention by WhiskeyGrinder, that sums up, and validates, pretty much everything I wrote in my OP yesterday. For anyone who's interested:

Thurs. Sept. 21
ETA: I just found this thread about the same/similar.

https://www.reddit.com/r/orangecounty/comments/71l16w/did_anyone_see_the_emergency_alert_on_tv_just_now/

There was a red banner/feed running across the top that said something about a warning system in effect until 11:00 tonight. Then there was a very poorly recorded, but loud, voice communication about end times and gawd. It was difficult to understand and I actually looked around to see if it was coming from my computer because it sounded like a radio broadcast, and not like it would be coming from the television but it was coming from my TV. I decided to rewind the program, Katy Tur, MSNBC, to see if I could read the banner again and that interrupted it. When I played it back through it was not there. The banner, the sound, all gone. What the hell?

I know this sounds crazy. I mean it was almost like a radio signal somehow got caught in the cable loop for a moment but there was the visual as well. Again, what the hell? Does anyone have any idea what this was?

[maveric]

1. In CA they do that for storm warnings and Amber Alerts.

It even blasts on my cellphone.

[Control-Z]

5. It was kind of like that.

I live in California. But what was the endtimes and gawd message? It was not an amber or emergency alert. And nothing came through my phone.

[tblue37]

114. It happened. News report about one place where it happened (emphasis added):

http://www.ocregister.com/2017/09/21/end-of-world-prediction-interrupts-tv-broadcasts-in-orange-county/

Cable systems pick up such alerts, and viewers should have seen just a typical emergency-broadcast test.

“With these tests, an emergency tone is sent out to initiate the test,” Camero said. “After the tone is transmitted, another tone is sent to end the message. It appears that the radio station (or stations) did not transmit the end tone to complete the test.”

Then the broadcast picked up some audio feed that bled into the alert.

Camero said Cox technicians shut down the emergency test as soon as they became aware of the problem.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. What? Is this real?

It mentioned END TIMES ?

[Control-Z]

6. Yes. eom

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. What specifically about end times?

I mean I can see a warning happening for many reasons, but end times implies it is a hack and that would be a problem.

[Control-Z]

39. It was really hard to make out.

Loud, crackly, like an out of range radio station turned up as loud as possible. Could only pick out a few words.

I think it was a hack. By whom, I don't know, though. Could have been someone at Time Warner. I'm checking into it.

[bathroommonkey76]

42. You should rewind the channel and post it on YouTube.

[Control-Z]

46. I tried but rewinding it stopped it,

of course. And then when I played it back it wasn't there.

[bathroommonkey76]

49. What state/city are u from?

If it was through Time Warner I'm sure other people saw it on TV- Unless you were watching some strange channel that no one watches. haha

It wasn't CBN, was it? lol

[Control-Z]

60. Oh, hell no. Lol. Never!

I was watching MSNBC. In fact, they were reporting from Mexico, showing the efforts to dig those five kids out from under the collapsed school. So at first I thought the alarm was coming from them. I thought they were having another earthquake. It was surreal.

My roommate was watching a different channel. We're in OC, CA.

[Lint Head]

62. That means the signal was not recorded and came from a seperate source than the network broadcast.

The box has to record a broadcast in real time so you can pause or rewind it's signal.
I think it came from your cable company. Could be an employee who feels a need to expound his views while playing with the production controls. Or a joke text to test the alert function.
But, another semi conspiratorial idea would be this. You know that people hijack signals from cable and satellite companies.
Well...Maybe an amateur electronics geek or a former cable/satellite employee, who knows how to flip the signal, hijacked the broadcast. They send instead of receive a signal. But others would have to be connected to the source for all to receive it. Or maybe only you saw it.

[Lint Head]

64. This too.

[Judi Lynn]

100. We had that happen with Time-Warner. It IS exactly as you said. Spooky! Loud!

It's their monthly emergency test signal, although it does seem it can happen more often than that if you're up in the later hours of the evening. Horrible scratchiness, a cheap microphone, a crackling sound as the announcer yammers something almost muffled. Then, a loud squawk horn, and eventually the noise ends, and sometimes the crawl continues while the sound to your normal program doesn't come back until the trainwreck is over. It seems to take far too long, but it may be around a minute. I don't know. Completely irritating.

They zap it in, it's not connected to the show transmission.

We got AT&T, and they don't do that!

You are safe, but it's normal to be totally startled the first time you go through it. The next time, you'll only be irritated, and you'll start muting it every time it happens after that.

[Control-Z]

101. They use an end times, gawd message

to test their system? That's totally messed up if true.

[Judi Lynn]

107. Uh, oh. That didn't sink in. Oh, never mind! Yikes. n/t

[jberryhill]

80. I already told you this in another thread

The world is ending Saturday:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/09/20/the-christian-numerologist-whose-biblical-doomsday-claim-has-some-nervously-eyeing-sept-23/?utm_term=.9d2321af2f0d

On Saturday, Sept. 23, 2017, a constellation — a sign prophesied in the Book of Revelation — would reveal itself in the skies over Jerusalem, signaling the beginning of the end of the world as we know it. Meade believes that by the end of October, the world may enter what’s called a seven-year tribulation period, a fairly widespread evangelical belief that for seven years, catastrophic events would happen.

[Eliot Rosewater]

82. Yeah but that is all bull, the real truth is

the horsemen of the Apocalypse and Ann Margaret are coming on Sunday after the Jets game.

I know this because Ann is secretly my girlfriend.

[OriginalGeek]

85. I'm not down with an apocalypse

but I think I could weather it with Ann Margaret around.

[Eliot Rosewater]

87. Will NEVER forget the sweater scene in Bye Bye Birdie

[Turbineguy]

88. These predictions are notoriously inaccurate.

All that stuff started Nov 8, 2016.

[jberryhill]

89. That's why the cable companies are getting it out now

[Dave Starsky]

105. This is very probable.

My wife and I were talking about this a few weeks ago. I told her that Donald Trump really exhibits all the signs of being the Antichrist as predicted the Bible, up to and including that he becomes a popular leader despite being known by everyone in advance to be a generally horrible and disgusting person. (That was the hardest thing I ever had to contend with in that whole Antichrist myth. Surely no one would ever elect someone so transparently loathsome to power. Yet here we are!)

My wife was born and raised in the Bible Belt. She has churched, heavily, in the Protestant faith her entire life. She just shrugged and said, "Maybe that's true."

And then she told me not to worry. "We were told we would never know when the day would come. We were always told to live our lives like we would be called to account for all we did (or didn't do) at any minute. You're not going to change anything about your ultimate fate in the precious seconds you have left."

"Did you do the best you really could for your fellow human while you were here? Are you doing the best you really can now? That's all that matters."

Then she just went about her business like it was nothing.

She's right. I do believe that Trump is the long predicted Biblical Antichrist, as crazy as that sounds. But I'm not worried about it.

3. It's the new DU alert post system

66. SKINNER!

[Fullduplexxx]

90. Skinner!

[RandiFan1290]

4. Got that in Florida yesterday

Nothing about the end times

Was supposed to be an Amber Alert but there was no information.

I found it strange.

[Control-Z]

9. I just talked to my roommate.

He had the same reaction that I had. He said, no, it wasn't a legitamate alert.

[LuckyCharms]

8. Happens routinely at my home.

It normally is a required test of the Emergency Broadcast System.

The expiration time on the warning usually does not make sense.

They are scary, because they are loud and they happen at very inopportune times, but it is a normal and required practice.

I've never understood why they do not schedule them for the middle of the night.

[LuckyCharms]

10. Wait...if it actually said "end times"

then I have no idea. Perhaps it said something else, but was hard to understand because of the poor quality?

[Control-Z]

14. Normal to bradcast about endtimes

and gawd? No. Not normal. Unnerving is what it was. And not because of the endtimes message. Because of the intrusion.

[LuckyCharms]

19. Question and comment:

1) Yes, I understand about the intrusion. It is unnerving. But was the quality of the message so bad that perhaps you heard "end times" when they are actually saying something else? Where I live, the sound quality is horrendous.

2) If they actually said "end times", it was almost certainly a hack, in my opinion.

[Control-Z]

27. My roommate agreed that it was not legitamate.

Have you seen the movie Live Free or Die Hard? It was more like that. It made no sense. Even the scrolling banner had a nonsensicle alert on it.

I would say hacked. If that was an alert then nobody has any idea what to be alerted for. Well, Saturday is supposed to be the current rapture date, I've heard. So I guess there's that.

[CherokeeFiddle]

47. Nope and here it is

&feature=youtu.be

Now WTF is it is the question

[bathroommonkey76]

51. Is that real?

[CherokeeFiddle]

52. It is

[bathroommonkey76]

54. Where was this broadcast?

[CherokeeFiddle]

55. Let me ask, unsure how long it will take to get a response

[bathroommonkey76]

57. I looked at the guys YouTube channel and some of his videos mention Myrtle Beach, SC. n/t

[CherokeeFiddle]

56. Los Angeles County

[bathroommonkey76]

58. Thanks. n/t

[LuckyCharms]

70. Well, that doesn't make me feel very good.

Whatever it is, it's scary. That kind of stuff rings too real considering the person at the helm of the country.

[Control-Z]

73. I know.

I'm hoping it was just a prank hack by a neighborhood nut job who believes in the coming rapture. That would be the easiest to digest considering every other possibility. It's scary to think too deeply about.

[jberryhill]

91. I think the only people who got it are the ones who will be raptured

[Control-Z]

99. Oh, crap.

That made me laugh. I'm atheist.

Yesterday I was talking to my future ex about the latest rapture news. In all seriousness he told me I would be raptured. We don't like each other very much and he has treated me horribly in the past so I was stunned to hear him say that. He believes in higher power stuff.

Now I'm just creeped out. lol

[Judi Lynn]

106. You'll be forced to smile sweetly, sing lots of hymns, and say "Praise the Lord" a lot. Have fun.

Just in case, always wear something nice. You never know when they will come for you.

[Control-Z]

108. I won't go. I'll refuse.

I'll handcuff myself to my bed. And I'm not dressing up. You probably expect me to wear underwear too. Not going to happen. No thank you.

[ellie]

118. Your last line

reminds me of an old Conan O'Brien bit when he was on Late Night. He would read weird ads on the air (obviously doctored). One said, Treadmill for sale. Be in shape for when they come to get you.
I still laugh.

[hatrack]

122. Wouldn't they already know?

Kind of gilding the lily, IMHO.

[Control-Z]

93. I found this thread.

If you read through it you will see that I actually heard what I thought I heard. Each person has a bit of a different account but it happened today and in my area. Makes me feels a little less cray to have found this other thread.

https://www.reddit.com/r/orangecounty/comments/71l16w/did_anyone_see_the_emergency_alert_on_tv_just_now/

[obamanut2012]

68. I sincerely doubt it mentioned God -- they do mention end times

As in, the time the alerts are ending.

[Control-Z]

117. Um, yes it did mention god

and end times, referencing the end of time, not the end of the alert. Go to the link in my OP. (I added it in a late edit.) It goes to an outside thread where others talk about having had similar experiences, on the same day, in my area, hearing the same keywords.

[LexVegas]

11. If you rewound the DVR and it wasn't there, it didn't happen. nt

[Control-Z]

15. Exactly.

Except my roommate got it on his TV too.

[marybourg]

17. Not necessarily true. nt.

[GoCubsGo]

12. It might have been a test.

I mostly have my TV on PBS, and they run tests on their emergency system weekly.

[Control-Z]

22. They test with scratchy recorded endtimes messages?

They damn well better not!

[GoCubsGo]

38. That's why they test.

To make sure that it's clear. Hopefully, they will correct it.

[Control-Z]

40. That doesn't sound right to me. eom

[GoCubsGo]

104. Well, I don't know what else to tell you then.

This is no different than testing a smoke detector or a fire alarm. You test it to make sure it works. If it doesn't work, you replace the battery or otherwise fix it. It sounds like that station's emergency notification system needed repair. The recording was garbled. That needed to be fixed. I don't see how that is nefarious.

[marybourg]

13. If you're confident about the "end times" and "gawd"

content, you should report this illegal interference to the FCC on their website.

[Control-Z]

21. Good idea.

Oh, yes. Absolutely confident about the message coming across. I will report it to the FCC. Absolutely. I bet I won't be the only one. I wonder if I should report to my cable provider too.

[marybourg]

29. Yes, I would report it the cable provider also.

That can't be good for them.

[BigmanPigman]

16. In San Diego they usually give a time frame for weather alerts

like flash floods anywhere in the county (it is a big county).

[maveric]

20. I'm in SD as well.

Do you get Amber Alerts on your TV and cellphone?

[BigmanPigman]

24. Yes.

[FreeState]

37. In San Diego too

also get them on the phone and TV. Did not get this one.

[world wide wally]

18. Apparently, someone is trying to tell you somehting

(cue the drama music)

[Control-Z]

41. Right?

lol.

[Ken Burch]

23. Sounds like one of those Emergency Broadcast System tests

Cable systems have to run those once a week-it's an FCC regulation.

They try to have them late at night in most areas-possibly they just changed the timing in your area.

They're annoying to watch, but they should always say "this is ONLY a test" and if they do, there's nothing to be afraid of.

[Control-Z]

43. They didn't say that.

No "this is ONLY a test". There was no commentary at all. Just what sounded like a radio station gawd talk program. Distant, scratchy, but loud.

[Ken Burch]

102. That IS weird, then.

n/t.

[Control-Z]

103. And it wasn't just at my house.

I added a link to my OP. Others in my area are talking about similar experiences this morning.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

25. I'm sorry people aren't reading your OP carefully and are dismissing your experience.

It sounds bizarre and should definitely be reported to your local provider.

[Control-Z]

30. Thank you.

You get it. It was bizarre and certainly not normal. I will report it.

115. End-of-world prediction interrupts TV broadcasts in Orange County

http://www.ocregister.com/2017/09/21/end-of-world-prediction-interrupts-tv-broadcasts-in-orange-county/

“We have confirmed that we were fed an incorrect audio file,” said Dennis Johnson, a spokesman for Spectrum.

It hasn’t been determined if the audio in the alert is related to a prophecy by David Meade, a self-described “specialist in research and investigations” who believes catastrophic events will occur Saturday.

[RainCaster]

31. In ID & CO there are winter storm warnings today

Might be that. Or perhaps the Orange Baboon is twattling again.

[Control-Z]

112. I'm in OC, CA.

Orange Baboon twattling could be it. After all, didn't he recently find jezuz? Or was it that he read the Bible? That wouldn't be it since he can't read. Well, I can't remember but it was kind of sudden, I think, and just in time to run for office.

[woodsprite]

32. Wondering if someone was told they had to do a test

and thought they'd be funny. I'd definitely report it to both the FCC and your cable provider.

On the other hand..... did you ever see the movie "The Next Voice You Hear"?

BTW, That's Nancy Davis, the future Mrs. Reagan, starring as the mother.

[Soxfan58]

33. Have you heard?

The world is ending Saturday. Google it! They say its in the bible, sort of like the 10000 end of world prediction before it.

The more I think about it the more I think is was a prank hack. Possibly by someone working at Time Warner

or someone in the Time Warner control room. I called them. They are going to look into it. They did a superficial check but they're going to insolate our tuner/connection specifically and get back to me.

59. Lord, that's creepy.

[Control-Z]

63. It really is.

And I don't creep out easily.

[NastyRiffraff]

65. This sounds suspicious

WTOP radio is doing an ongoing series about the history of Russian trolling/fake news. This happened in 2014:

“We started getting phone calls in regards to a message titled ‘toxic fumes, hazard warning,’” said Duval Arthur, director of the office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness.

He told WTOP that citizens received a text message alert about 8 a.m. about an explosion at a manufacturing plant. The alert read “‘take shelter, check local media,'” according to Arthur; the dispatch was sent from Columbia Chemical Company and listed its website as columbiachemical.com.

Within two hours, social media users from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes were inundated with posts about the incident.

Twitter and other social media platforms were jammed with images of the explosion and a screenshot of a CNN homepage. Even a YouTube video had been posted showing someone watching a TV broadcast in which ISIS had allegedly claimed responsibility for an attack on the plant.

But not a word of it was true. It was all an elaborately staged hoax.

I'm not saying that this was what happened to you, but it does sound odd.

[obamanut2012]

67. That is the EAS system -- totally normal

Nothing unusual about what you described.

[FreeState]

69. Did you read what the poster said the message said?

It was an end of Times doomsday message. THis is not an EA.

[jberryhill]

92. Why wouldn't that be an EA?

If the end of times doomsday is imminent, I damned well expect to get an emergency alert.

WTF do we pay for these systems for?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

71. Suggestions.

That is a serious breach of the Emergency Alert System and it could cause some people to disregard future real alerts. I'm sure it's very illegal. Keep in mind these alerts are used by our schools, fire and police agencies and hospitals.

I suggest you contact FEMA or the FCC, the two primary agencies responsible for the EAS and fully describe the incident, including dates and times. They should get back to you for any further info they need.

FEMA's contact web page:

https://www.fema.gov/integrated-public-alert-and-warning-system-contact-us

They should initiate an investigation and hopefully put a stop to this.

[Control-Z]

76. Thank you

for your input and the link. It feels horribly intrusive, and illegal. I will report this. I thought I would check with some of my neighbors too. See if they had the same experience. It seems very much like the hacking that is happening all over the internet, including here on DU, election night. But over the television. So creepy.

Again, thank you for the info.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

81. Yes!

This really is a serious thing. Collect all the info you can and report it - times, dates, name of station(s) or cable channels, etc. will be helpful. Also relate any other similar events you've heard of from friends, as I believe you mentioned.

I believe the way the system is designed, alerts can be local, regional, or national. Therefore, it may have only affected a small area, or it could be wide spread. It's bad enough with so many folks not paying enough attention to the alerts (due to the periodic tests they run), but we don't need events like this to almost make it into a joke.

You can also file an on-line complaint with the FCC here: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=39744

Or, even better, just give them a call:
The FCC's Public Safety & Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB), Phone: [phone].

Best of luck!

116. I find this whole thing extremely disturbing.

Hacking the EAS could be form of terrorism...just imagine giving false instructions to a large population center....I hope they catch the person who did this.
