I’m still pee ode about our local radio guys doing those monthly EBS tests During Rushes show, for years. Guaranteed they would do them right when Rush was talking. The radio bleepers finally took so much flak about it that they moved the beeping noise to station break time. I guess it finally occurred to them that the fire at their shop could be the actual emergency if they kept it up? And I have distinct memories of how they would pick the time——right when Rush would be making a point. I still swear they had a guy with button fingers just waiting for the stoopid moment. Now they do them after Rushes time slot would be over. Remember “Rush Rooms”? Why not P-O a room full of folks at a time?
I thought about Rush today and his labeling “Operation Chaos”. Kind of describes these times.
