Incident involving replay of Emergency Alert System tones
The Bobby Bones Show set off the Emergency Alert System that affected many viewers and listeners on October 24, 2014. During a segment discussing an EAS test that interrupted Game 2 of the 2014 World Series locally on Nashville Fox affiliate WZTV, the show played a YouTube clip of the 2011 national EAS test over the air. That led to the affiliates of Bones' show that are EAS primary stations, including flagship WSIX in Nashville, in their market to inadvertently send Emergency Action Notification alerts, along with the show's national feed. This later cascaded to several other radio stations and television stations, some cable systems, and many AT&T U-verse systems, whose receivers in the Atlanta, Austin, and Detroit markets were "force tuned ... to receive the Emergency Alert Message". On May 19, 2015, iHeartMedia was fined $1 million for the incident, which was levied against all affiliates of The Bobby Bones Show that triggered the false alarm. The media group also was directed to implement a three-year compliance plan and remove all EAS tones or similar-sounding sounds from all audio-production libraries in order to avoid any further incidents.
