51-602: A National Emergency Message ( SAME code: EAN), formerly known until 2022 as an Emergency Action Notification , is the national activation of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) used to alert the residents of the United States of a national or global emergency such as a nuclear war or any other mass casualty situation . This alert can only be activated by the president of the United States or

102-656: A World Series game. The broadcast triggered the EAS on some broadcasters and cable systems; the program's distributor iHeartMedia was fined $ 1 million by the FCC for the incident. In 2016 or 2017, KUCO-LD in the Sacramento Valley area of California conducted an unauthorized test of the EAS. However, the message read in Spanish said that the activation was for an Emergency Action Notification relaying from station K20FZ. It

153-444: A bit rate of 520 5 ⁄ 6   bits per second . A mark bit is four complete cycles of a sine wave, translating to a mark frequency of 2083 1 ⁄ 3   Hz , and a space bit is three complete sine wave cycles, making the space frequency 1562.5 Hz. The data is sent isochronously and encoded in 8- bit bytes with the most-significant bit of each ASCII byte set to zero. The least-significant bit of each byte

204-498: A check from The Trump Organization for an undisclosed amount, stating it would go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and that Trump could "have [his] slogan back". On January 3, 2017, Bones announced he was considering a run for governor of Arkansas in the 2018 election . On March 14, 2017, Bones announced he was not running. In July 2021, Bones married Caitlin Parker. For four years running, from 2004 to 2008, Bones

255-535: A country music format while taking The Bobby Bones Show nationwide. Bones took over the slot hosted by longtime DJ Gerry House , who retired in 2010. Bones now broadcasts from the WSIX-FM studios in Nashville on weekday mornings from 5:00 a.m. to 10 a.m. (CT). His co-host is Amy, and features Producer Eddie, Lunchbox, Raymundo, Morgan Number 2, Mike D., Abby, and Scuba Steve. The Bobby Bones Show has become

306-570: A dash character; programmed at time of event 5. TTTT — Purge time of the alert event (from exact time of issue) The National Weather Service is changing the maximum purge time for alerts on NOAA Weather Radio from 6 hours to 99.5 hours by summer 2023 to address long duration events purging before the event begins. 6. JJJHHMM — Exact time of issue, in UTC , ( without time zone adjustments ). 7. LLLLLLLL — Eight-character station callsign identification, with "/" used instead of "–" (such as

357-637: A designated representative thereof, such as the vice president. The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) also carried the Emergency Action Notification. Except for the 2011 national test, which utilized the Emergency Action Notification alert type, no president has ever issued a National Emergency Message. National Emergency Messages are treated the same as any other message transmitted over the Emergency Alert System, except that stations are required to relay them. When

408-548: A guest mentor for season sixteen of American Idol (the first to air on ABC ) during the top 24 round. On November 6, 2018, it was announced Bones would become a full-time mentor for the series beginning in season seventeen . During an episode which aired April 8, 2019, Bones served as guest host, as host Ryan Seacrest was sick and missed the taping. In June 2019, Bones filmed an episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls in Norway. The episode aired on January 14, 2020. He

459-540: A message is received, the receiver is to open an audio channel to the originating source until the End of Message (EOM) tones are received. After the EOM is received, stations will return to normal programming in order to broadcast immediate news coverage of the event. Formerly, stations would not resume broadcast until an Emergency Action Termination (SAME code: EAT) was issued. Before the header codes and attention signal are sent,

510-695: A more specialized receiver, a user has the option to eliminate any SAME alert codes that may not apply to their area such as a " Special Marine Warning " or a " Coastal Flood Warning ". Once the SAME header is sent by NOAA/NWS and if it matches the desired code(s), the receivers then decode the event, scroll it on their display screens, and sound an alarm. Receivers receive on one of the following National Weather Service network frequencies (in MHz): 162.400, 162.425, 162.450, 162.475, 162.500, 162.525, and 162.550. The signals are typically receivable up to 40 miles (80 km) from

561-519: A number of country music albums through Black River Entertainment . Bones was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas , on April 2, 1980, and raised in the small community of Mountain Pine, Arkansas .

612-448: A regular interview stop for top country music stars and even artists/celebrities outside the genre of country. Luke Bryan , John Mayer, Taylor Swift , Garth Brooks, Ed Sheeran, Blake Shelton , Tim McGraw , Lady Antebellum , Jason Aldean , Dierks Bentley , and more have been featured in interviews on the morning show. In February 2013, The Bobby Bones Show was nationally syndicated through iHeart Media-owned Premiere Networks and

663-406: A single definitive reference to use when designing and programming receivers. In addition, some receiver manufacturers have added an additional layer as to whether or not an event code can be user-suppressed (e.g., a Hurricane Warning in a Midwest US State) or will never be allowed to be suppressed (e.g., Nuclear Power Plant Warning). * Unrecognized Alerts are only seen on NOAA Weather Radios . This

714-681: A station hand at KLAZ in Hot Springs, Arkansas, but was put on the air within a few days of being hired. A manager there gave him the choice of going on the air as Bobby Z or Bobby Bones of which he chose the latter. Bones' first full-time radio contract paid him $ 17,000. In 2002, Bones was hired by Q100/KQAR in Little Rock, Arkansas . He then worked for radio station ( KLAL ), which led to his hosting The Bobby Bones Show on KHFI-FM in Austin, Texas . According to The Washington Post , Bones

765-481: Is also the host of the podcast “The Bobbycast” where he interviews singers/songwriters of all genres which The Washington Post dubbed as a "treasure trove of unusually candid anecdotes." He has also launched his own podcast network, the Nashville Podcast Network. On May 17, 2016, he released his first book entitled Bare Bones, I'm Not Lonely If You're Reading This Book. In 2018, Bones was

816-498: Is broken down as follows: 1. A preamble of binary 10101011 (0xAB in hex) repeated sixteen times, used for "receiver calibration" (i.e., clock synchronization ), then the letters ZCZC as an attention to the decoder (a message activation method inherited from NAVTEX ). 2. ORG — Originator code; programmed per unit when put into operation 3. EEE — Event code; programmed at time of event 4. PSSCCC — Location codes (up to 31 location codes per message), each beginning with

867-509: Is different from typical radio DJs, as he doesn't have the "classic, booming radio DJ voice". Despite being commonly referred to as such Bones does not refer to himself as a DJ. Bones was originally hired for the evening shift on KHFI-FM and was soon moved to mornings. While in Austin, he met two of his future co-hosts, Lunchbox (in a bar) and Amy (in a Culver's). Bones believed in Amy and put her on

918-404: Is transmitted first, including the preamble. The data stream is bit and byte synchronized on the preamble. Since there is no error correction, the digital part of a SAME message is transmitted three times, so that decoders can pick "best two out of three" for each byte , thereby eliminating most errors which can cause an activation to fail. The text of the header code is a fixed format: This

969-539: Is typically due to poor reception, or for newly-implemented event codes, which an older radio may not recognize. The FCC established naming conventions for EAS event codes. The third letter of the code must be one of the following. The exception to this convention is for "TOR" (tornado warning), "SVR" (severe thunderstorm warning), "EVI" (evacuation immediate), "EAN, EAT, NIC" (the EAS national activation codes), and "ADR" (administrative messages). There are many weather/all-hazards radio receivers that are equipped with

1020-565: The 2009 feature film, Bandslam , with Vanessa Hudgens . He has also appeared on the ABC drama Nashville and has been a guest host with Kelly Ripa on Live! with Regis and Kelly . In 2012 Bones was part of the Fox Sports Radio lineup, hosting the weekend sports talk program Roddick and Bones with tennis star Andy Roddick , airing Saturdays from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on nearly 300 radio stations. Bones

1071-597: The EAN was not the alert itself, but rather a notice that the activation is beginning. After the End of Message (EOM) tones were sent, normal programming did not resume. Instead, most stations were to broadcast emergency information in a specific priority order. Messages from the President are always broadcast first. Next comes local messages, statewide and regional messages, and finally national messages not originating from

1122-481: The EAS as well as by Environment Canada for its Weatheradio Canada service in 2004. Much like the original EBS dual-tone Attention Signal , this produces a distinct sound (the SAME header ) which is easily recognized by most individuals due to its use in weekly and monthly broadcast tests, as well as weather alert messages. During the said events, viewers and/or listeners will hear these digital codes in

1173-420: The EAS issuance in Nashville, but since the show was in syndication, the signal cascaded through the show's nationwide affiliates, and caused AT&T U-verse boxes nationwide to lock up with the erroneous test. In May 2015, Bones's employer iHeartMedia paid a $ 1 million FCC fine due to the incident and removed all EAS sound effects from their nationwide sound library to prevent a recurrence. Bones appeared in

1224-451: The NWS forecast offices began experimenting with placing special digital codes at the beginning and end of every message concerning life- or property-threatening weather conditions targeting a specific area. The intent of what became SAME was to ultimately transmit a code with the initial broadcast of all NWR messages. However, the roll-out moved slowly until 1995, when the U.S. Government provided

1275-445: The President. When an EAN was initially received, and during any time a new message was not available, an FCC mandated standby script was used (and repeated). Other stations, which held special permission from the FCC, would sign off until the end of the EAN. Normal programming would not continue until the transmission of an Emergency Action Termination message (SAME code: EAT). A properly authenticated Emergency Action Notification

1326-518: The SAME alert feature, which allows users to program SAME/ FIPS / CLC codes for their designated area or areas of their interest and/or concern rather than the entire broadcast area. (For example, a person living in Irving, Texas , would program a FIPS code for Dallas County. However, if there is a need to know of severe weather from the west and northwest ahead of time, the user would program additional FIPS codes for Denton and Tarrant Counties.) On

1377-631: The Warning Alarm Tone (WAT). Although it served NWR well, there were many drawbacks. Without staff at media facilities to manually evaluate the need to rebroadcast an NWR message using the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS), automatic rebroadcasting of all messages preceded by just the WAT was unacceptable and impractical. Even if stations and others with the need were willing to allow for this type of automatic capture, assuming

1428-495: The air immediately. His executive producer at the time, Alayna Messer, was previously an intern on the show. Over ten years, the show built its audience into the top-rated morning show in Austin and was syndicated in a few regional markets. At the height of his popularity, Bones was offered a job outside of radio but ultimately chose to remain with Clear Channel (now iHeart Media). In 2012, Clear Channel moved Bones and his show from Austin with its Top 40 format to Nashville and

1479-577: The annual iHeartRadio Country Festival held in Austin, Texas, iHeartRadio Music Festival held in Las Vegas, Nevada and the annual iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles, California. In October 2014, Bones accidentally triggered the Emergency Alert System by playing EAS tones during an on-air rant about an erroneous EAS test interrupting coverage locally of the 2014 World Series on Fox affiliate WZTV . The EAS tones would have only triggered

1530-538: The budget needed to develop the SAME technology across the entire radio network. Nationwide implementation occurred in 1997, when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted the SAME standard as part of its new Emergency Alert System (EAS). In 2003, NOAA established a SAME technology standard for weather radio receivers. The SAME technique was later adopted by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1997 for use in

1581-415: The events for activation were critical, there was no way for automated equipment at the station to know when the message was complete and restore it back to normal operation. SAME had its beginnings in the early 1980s when NOAA 's National Weather Service (NWS) began experimenting with system using analog tones in a dual-tone multi-frequency ( DTMF ) format to transmit data with radio broadcasts. In 1985,

1632-517: The family. Bones began dreaming of a radio career around the age of 5. His mother died at age 49 after battling addiction problems in 2014. He grew up poor, and often viewed radio as a way of escaping poverty . Bones began his radio career at age 17 at the campus station of Henderson State University , KSWH-FM "The Pulse". He graduated with a B.A. in Radio/Television from Henderson in 2002. While still in college, Bones went to work as

1683-552: The finals, and ended up winning the competition. On September 28, 2013, Bones and his crew were part of a team that set the Guinness World Record "Most hunger relief meals packaged in one hour (team)". On August 5, 2015, during the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump , Bones filed an "all purpose" trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the rights to

1734-404: The first eight letters of a cable headend's location, WABC/FM for WABC-FM , KLOX/NWS for a weather radio station programmed from Los Angeles, or EC/GC/CA for a Weatheradio Canada station). Each field of the header code is terminated by a dash character, including the station ID at the end; individual PSSCCC location numbers are also separated by dashes, with a plus (+) separating

1785-518: The first six of these used to be optional and could be programmed into encoder/decoder units at the request of the broadcaster. However, a July 12, 2007, memo by the FCC now requires mandatory participation in state and local level EAS by broadcasters. Furthermore, the creation and evolution of a voluntary standard by the CEA in December 2003 has provided participating manufacturers of weather radio receivers

1836-471: The form of buzzes, chirps, and clicking sounds (colloquially known as "duck farts" by broadcast engineers) just before the attention signal is sent out and at the conclusion of the voice message. In the SAME system, messages are constructed in four parts, the first and last of which are digital and the middle two are audio. The digital sections of a SAME message are AFSK data bursts , with individual bits lasting 1920  μs (1.92  ms ) each, giving

1887-410: The last location from the purge time that follows it. An EAS message contains these elements, in this transmitted sequence: There is one second of blank audio between each section, and before and after each message. For those used to packet communications systems where each packet has a checksum, note that there is no checksum used in the message format. The header and EOM are transmitted 3 times, and

1938-461: The participating station reads an introductory script. "We interrupt our programming; this is a national emergency." Emergency messages are then read in this order: A standby script is used in the case there is no new information available. The end-of-message codes are transmitted after presidential messages are read. The operator logs the time and date the alert was received, and monitors their EAS source. The term "Emergency Action Notification"

1989-442: The phrase " Make America Great Again ". Trump had registered the phrase for "political action committee services" but not for its use on hats, t-shirts, duffel bags, and other apparel and accessories that Bones now had the rights to. Two days later, on August 7, Bones tweeted, "hey @realDonaldTrump, if you donate 100k to @stjude, I will give you your clothing trademark back. thanks! – Bobby". Bones later tweeted an image on October 29 of

2040-550: The receiver is obliged to implement columnar parity correction. The combined tones date back to 1976 when they were made part of the Emergency Broadcast System , the EAS' predecessor. There are roughly 80 different event codes that are used in EAS. These codes are defined federally by the FCC for use in the EAS system and publicly by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) standard for SAME protocol weather radio receiver decoder units. All but

2091-412: The request of the United States government, but is not specific about the cause. A cancellation message was sent at 9:59 a.m. EST, but the message's codeword, " HATEFULNESS " again, was incorrect. A cancellation message with the correct codeword, " IMPISH ", was not sent until 10:13 a.m. EST. After 40 minutes and six incorrect or improperly formatted cancellation messages, the accidental activation

2193-717: Was a judge of Topgolf 's original series Who Will Rock You . He signed an overall deal with BBC Studios. Breaking Bobby Bones , on the National Geographic Channel began airing in 2021. In each episode, Bones meets a real person doing a "real" job or sport, works with them to learn how to do it, and is critiqued on his performance. At the end of each episode, Bones does something special for week's guest that will improve their life, or help them with their career or other goals. On December 31, 2021, Bones, along with Rachel Smith of Entertainment Tonight , hosted New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash . It

2244-464: Was accidentally activated for the state of Illinois, when new satellite delivery equipment for the EAS was accidentally left connected to a live network during what was meant to be a closed-circuit test. On October 24, 2014, Bobby Bones ' syndicated radio program broadcast audio from the 2011 national test of the EAS (the only one that was coded as an EAN), during a segment where he ranted over his local Fox affiliate's scheduling of an EAS test during

2295-517: Was broadcast live from Nashville on CBS . In 2022, Bones hosted the USA Network competition series Snake in the Grass . In September 2018, Bones was announced as one of the celebrities to compete on the 27th season of Dancing with the Stars , being paired with the professional dancer Sharna Burgess . Despite the second lowest scores for a couple in the final 4, the couple made it to

2346-522: Was created when the Emergency Broadcast System went into place in 1963. Before the mid-1970s, this was the only non-test activation permitted (the same rule also applied to the earlier CONELRAD system). The EAN signifies a national emergency, as the wording shows. The Office of Civil Defense originally created the term for the national emergency notification enactment. FEMA soon took over after its creation. Unlike other messages,

2397-471: Was due to a wrong video cartridge being inserted instead of an EAS test cartridge. Specific Area Message Encoding From the 1960s to the 1980s, a special feature of the NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) system was the transmission of a single 1050 Hz attention tone prior to the broadcast of any message alerting the general public of significant weather events. This became known as

2448-626: Was incorrectly sent to United States broadcast stations at 9:33 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on February 20, 1971. At the usual time, a weekly EAN test was performed. NORAD teletype operator W.S. Eberhardt had three tapes in front of him: a test tape, and 2 tapes indicating a real emergency, instructing the use of EAN Message #1, and #2, respectively. He accidentally used the wrong tape, with codeword " HATEFULNESS ". This message ordered stations to cease regular programming immediately, and begin an Emergency Action Notification using Message #1. Message 1 states that regular programming has been interrupted at

2499-464: Was made available via iHeartRadio.com and the iHeartRadio mobile app. The show is currently heard on more than 150 radio stations in the U.S., Canada, and UK. The Bobby Bones Show has an estimated audience of nearly 9.2 million listeners a week. Bones also hosts the weekly “Country Top 30 with Bobby Bones,” carried on over 100 radio stations nationwide. As part of the iHeart Media family, Bones has been tapped to host, present, and even perform at

Bones became the youngest ever inductee into

2601-667: Was officially terminated. On April 21, 1997, several television and radio stations in Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, and Ohio mistakenly received a false EAN. Early indications pointed to a human error at the National Emergency Coordination Center in Virginia that routed a test requested by a relay for the Chicago area to test out one radio station's then-new EAS equipment. On June 26, 2007, an EAN
