Having to run EBS tests in the late 60's-early 80's, there was no such tone generated. To activate the system, you ran a short announcement stating "This is a test...for the next 60 seconds, this station will conduct a test of the emergency broadcast system...this is only a test.The xmitter was cut off for 5 seconds, on for 5, off another 5 and back on where a 1,000 cycle tone was broadcast. Then the test message was repeated...programming then continued.
The EMS was not around at this time. The First EMS system was called CONELRAD and developed in 1951 and was designed to confuse Soviet Aircraft, not as a source of information. Radio Stations could break in with information, and its likely they did, but Its highly doubtful they would use a computer generated voice if they did.
Pearl Harbor wasn't the beginning of WWII. It started when Germany invaded Poland after agreeing to cease annexing territories like they had just done to the primarily German speaking region of Czechoslovakia called Sudetenland. Poland was allied with France and Great Brittan, so they declared war on Germany following the invasion. Pearl Harbor was when the U.S. got involved, but it wasn't the start of the war.
There were only six commercial TV stations in the entire United States on Decemebr 7th, 1941.
Only one of them, WNBT (now WNBC-TV) New York, appears to have been on the air when news of the attack broke, and according to announcer Ray Forrest, quoted in Jeff Kasselhoffs book "The Box", Forrest grabbed wire copy and broke into a movie to announce the news.
Shortly afterwards, WCBW New York (now WCBS-TV) went on the air to do perhaps the first TV "Instant Special".
