"This is a test.This is a test of the emergency broadcast system.

The broadcasters in your area, in voluntary cooperation with local, state and federal authorities, have developed this system to keep you informed in the event of an emergency.

If this had been an actual emergency, the attention signal you just heard would have been followed by news or official instructions.This station serves the metropolitan Boston area and all outlying communities.

This concludes this test of the emergency broadcast system."
