Heard on 1530 kHz last night at 0358 UTC. Someone airing a ~3 minute loop that includes 3 EAS header tones and attention tone followed by some music and two addresses for x.com user accounts repeated several times over (can't make either of them out). It was first pointed out by another DXer in Arkansas who was hearing it for some time earlier. We stopped hearing it sometime after 0402 UTC.
Definitely not a real EAS alert. No EOM tones ever heard.
This is the song they played: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JODQ7FlAaXg
Here's some clips.

Is it a station stunting or DJ screwing around by illegally using EAS tones and airing explicit music? A Pirate? A hijacked STL of a station on 1530?
