I didn't hear it, but I read on another board a listener account that on Wednesday, WINS/New York had played the Amber Alert sounder long after the child who had been missing was located - only to promote the fact that they would be doing a story on the no-longer-missing child.
The Amber Alert sounder is the most blood-curdling siren I've ever heard. Somebody at WINS ought to lose their job for using it in a promo.
We had an Amber alert here in Mississippi last week but the regular EAS signal was used. Was that not used in the New York case?
