From a TV station employee:
I work at a mid sized TV station. We just had a visit from the FCC along with two people with badges. I didn’t get close enough to see what agency they were with.
We’ve been told to prepare for all of our programming to be pre-empted from 8 AM Wednesday for up to 72 hours.
They told my boss he can be held criminally liable if he doesn’t allow their feed to air.
He was almost in tears saying “I’ve never seen anything like this after 30 years in this business.” The Second American Civil War is Underway! Video below:
They scared the sh*t out of him and the district manager.
I reached out to broadcasters today in an effort to verify or debunk the information that the FCC made contact to warn broadcasters about interfering with the FCC EBS system.
I was expecting a denial but what I got was actually shocking.
Stations are sending employees home and the stations put on auto pilot in preparation of the coming declaration of martial law! ‘The Safest House in America’: Bulletproof Home Defense. Watch the video below:
I was told by one station owner that this was possible because during the Obama administration, the EBS system was formed and that broadcasters were required to install a 20,000$$$ piece of equipment that allows the FCC and EBS system to take over a broadcast at their will, so there is no need for any personnel to literally flip a switch like the old system.
On December 6th and January 6th , President Trump’s Words Shook the World. . .
So in conclusion I can, in great part, debunk the part about FCC agents making the rounds contacting broadcasters. Although I was told they DO expect to be contacted because they had heard from other stations of contact being made.
The “sending employees home” in lieu of impending martial law caught me off guard I must say. Was not expecting that.
Take it for what it’s worth.
