Scary stuff!
The Wilshire Blvd. studios which house CBS news and talk radio stations KNX 1070 and KFWB 908 were evacuated Tuesday morning after a suspicious ‘beeping’ package was found in the bulding’s second floor lobby!
Morning producer at KNX-CBS Jonathan Serviss tweeted a picture of the police bomb squad preparing to enter the building, along with the caption:
“LAPD bomb squad suiting up to go into @KNX1070 offices on Wilshire….threat suddenly feels very real.”
Sportscaster and Automotive Journalist at KNX 1070 Randy Kerdoon is also tweeting his evacuation experience, posting:
“Two suspicious packages , one beeping, CBS Studios evacuated @CBSLA
…
In the interest of accurate reporting, we now know it was BEEPING, not ticking! More details as they become available #CBSLA”
BUT you know what? All is well in the world of Wilshire, as the mysterious package turned out to be some beeping promotional material from a production company!
NBC Los Angeles JUST tweeted:
“#UPDATE: #LAPD bomb squad lets ppl back into @KNX1070, @KFWB bldg. Pkg was promotional item from a production co”
OUCH.
That production company is gonna be in trouuubbllleeee! And so much fuss over nothing… but, of course, safety does come first.
We’re glad everyone involved is ok and can continue to MASTER those airwaves like the radio professionals they are!
