The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) was set up in 1963 to alert Americans, via TV and radio, of nuclear attack. Stations were required to test the EBS once a week, but some got bored of reading the same sombre script, and tried to recite the script as a jaunty jingle. Nuclear war delivered with some easy listening?


I have a bonus podcast episode out NOW on the 1971 event when an EBS test went wrong, and was broadcast across America as a real alert. Find it on Patreon here: www.patreon.com/atomichobo


My book, Attack Warning Red: How Britain Prepared for Nuclear War is currently on an Amazon special deal in paperback. Down to £7.49 for a limited period.


Thank you for listening.
