Was a similar EBS warning played on any other radio stations? I can't imagine that WOWO was the only station that got the false alert. If so, do recordings exist of the other stations?
And the classical music played during the alert is creepy as hell. The music of the apocalypse. The Partridge Family ad sounds so petty and meaningless contrasted to the seriousness of the EBS alert.

Too bad the non-music material seemed to be scoped.

The local Kmart did a brisk business in new underwear sales the day after this...
