Absolutely right! In fact I find the local advertisements very nostalgic. It’s almost déjà vu!
The local advertisements make me feel like I am back there again :-)
Armchair traveling!

That would explain why you get Amber Alerts, if you listen from something online from around the world and it contains information important to the area where the stream is coming from then that can't be helped.
I am originally from Germany but moved to Canada almost 30 years ago. Sometimes I still enjoy listening to german radio stations on my Sonos system and of course they include advertising for whatever business might advertise on whatever local or regional channel I am listening to. Of course whatever special some german pizza shop has is of little relevance to me here in Canada, but that's just the way it is and let's not forget that before the internet and being able to listen to streams from all over the world me listening to a german radio station in Canada wasn't even remotely possible.
Also, just out of curiocity, what is all that jibberish after your message (see the text of your message below).

I do wish they were disable-able.
When watching nba games, it's not that I don't care about some missing
child, really I hope he/she is found safe and well, comes to no harm etc.
But I'm unlikely to be any help 4000 miles away in Scotland, while
that child is in Texas.<div

Post by 'Shawn Krasniuk' via VIPhoneIf you've heard the Alert Ready tone on your TV and Radio, it sounded
like that. Although some phone carriers here in Canada didn't
transmit the alert.

Post by Sieghard WeitzelAnd attention getting is exactly what it is supposed to be.
They did this here in Canada a couple of month ago, but in two
stages. I think Ontario Quebec and the maritime provinces were first
and then a couple of days later it was in the prairie and western
provinces and the northern territories.
I already forgot exactly what it sounded like, but it was some sort of loud beeping.

Subject: Crazy afternoon on Thursday
the first national government alert test will be conducted this
Thursday afternoon at 2:18 Eastern time. this means that all capable
cell phones will receive this test if they are turned on and
connected to a cell tower. You can't opt out of these alerts and
they go off even if your phone is on silent from what I read. this
would be crazy if you're in a crowded public place and everyone's
cell phone goes off at the same time. I've been in Walmart when
Amber alerts would go off and it can get loud. They say this is
going to be a different sound, so I'm curious to see what it's going
to sound like. Whatever it is I'm sure it will be attention getting.
