So I was listening to the Hammer & Nigel show on WIBC (Central Indiana) Around 3:20 p.m., just by coincidence, a severe thunderstorm warning took over their radio show as the NWS broadcast the warning. The warning was for a storm in Danville County which is quite a ways east of Indianapolis.

When the warning was done being broadcast, WIBC could transmit again, and Hammer & Nigel came back on rather pissed and flabbergasted that they couldn't override the NWS warning.

Just clicked to me that maybe they did something with today's test at 2:20 p.m. that prevents local stations from overriding the EMA message?
