Two Guam Radio Stations Air Inadvertent EAS Warning

Never Mind

Two radio stations on GUAM unnerved listeners with an accidental deployment of the Emergency Alert System early MONDAY (8/14).

UPI reports that POPPE Religion KTWG-A (THE CORNERSTONE)/HAGÅTÑA, GUAM and INTER-ISLAND COMMUNICATIONS AC KSTO (K-STEREO 95.5)/HAGÅTÑA, GUAM broadcast emergency tones and the message, "A broadcast station or cable system has issued a civil danger warning for the following countries/areas: GUAM; at 12:25 a.m. on Aug. 15, 2017, effective until 12:40 a.m. Message from KTWG/KSTO."  The GUAM Homeland Security/Office of Civil Defense posted an official statement saying, "The unauthorized test was NOT connected to any emergency, threat or warning. GHS/OCD has worked with KSTO to ensure the human error will not occur again. There is no scheduled test of the EAS or All Hazards Alert Warning System sirens today."

GUAM has been on edge since an escalation in the war of words between President TRUMP and NORTH KOREA's leader KIM JONG UN led KIM to warn that he might send missiles towards GUAM.
