Here's the deal. On XM channel 158 from 6am until 9am with the first hour repeated from 9am to 10am, talk show host Jim Quinn of the Quinn & Rose show was discussing something potentially damaging to Hillary Clinton at around 6:25am and his show was interrupted by an emergency broadcast system alert.
After finding this out from emails and phone calls from his listeners, Quinn was suspicious and posed a challenge to his listener. He said since the first hour is repeated from 9am to 10am he wanted his listeners to listen in and see if the same EBS alert was broadcast. Since the EBS is totally separate from his radio broadcast it wouldn't be broadcast a second time in a single day.
He also issued a challenge to XM saying he had a bombshell he was going to broadcast at exactly 7:35am. It was about Senator John McCain and it was really damaging. He said to XM, that if they really wanted to censor him they should do so at 7:35am.
All during the 7 o'clock first half hour everything was just fine. All during the bottom of the hour break everything was fine. But at exactly 7:35am XM cut his radio show. From 7:35am to 7:41am the signal was cut. Whether or not this was actual censorship it really is an astonishing coincidence.
Has anybody else experienced this?
I guess you don’t have XM.
I heard an EBS announcement a week or so ago on XM, while on comedy channel, I think. I check other stations at the same time and they also had the EBS.
Sheesh. Maybe that's what they censored, silly!
ZOMG! You are very likely right. :)
