You forgot to include Emergency Alert System fans.

I once recorded the voiceover for one of those when I was a preteen .. my mom worked at a radio station. Back when it was called the emergency broadcast system. They used it for a couple years after, I would cringe when it came on because I hated hearing my voice...
