When The John Kincade Show returned for the nine o’clock hour on Tuesday morning, the discussion was intended to be about the Philadelphia Eagles roster. However, the 97.5 Fanatic fire alarm had other plans.
The station was interrupted by a fire alarm that flashed throughout the building and quickly forced the show to exit the building.
“The alarms are going off. Hopefully everything’s all right,” Kincade said.
“I don’t recall getting an email,” co-host Jamie Lynch added.
Kincade attempted to continue his regularly scheduled segment before it became clear that someone informed Kincade to leave the building. He quickly interrupted and said “We are going to be exiting the building,” before getting out of his chair and doing so. The station switched to ESPN Radio programming and the national feed of Keyshawn, JWill and Max.
The station returned after about five minutes noting that the alarm turned out to be just a drill.
“As we were walking back in she said it was a false alarm,” Lynch said.
“They did it on purpose, though, because they were timing us,” Kincade complained. “There’s a woman at the door with her cell phone, and I go, ‘What are you timing?’ She said, ‘The exit of the building.’ Okay.”
