That's odd. Do you think they changed the scene b/c they decided to go in a different direction with the story?
I don't know, but I can tell you what's being said on the fuselage (JJ Abrams website). Apparantly JJ is saying ABC cleaned up the transmission for the promo and he has no control over that. Also, either he or another writer said *they* know what was said and they know where they're going with it. (I did read this but can't find the back up right now, will look for it and come back and post it)
Regarding the transmission, I pulled this off of the fuselage (the official site of the writers of Lost, sponsered by JJ Abrams)
These questions were asked of JJ Abrams (creator of Lost)

*oh, how i want to ask about spoilers, how i want to ask about spoilers...but won't! self control will rule the day!*
can we ask about the final episodes? are they all done & ready to go? and what in the heck did the other voice on the radio say?!?! i have searched & searched & still no definitive answer as to whether or not it was "there were no other survivors" or "we are the other survivors"

Hi JJ! I'm excited to be on while you're here! I just wanted to say thank you for Lost--it's the greatest show ever. I was very sad to see Boone die, but it was very well done and an emotional roller-coaster, to say the least. My heart was racing the whole time. I've never cried so much for a fictional character before!
His response (posted before the new promo came out):
JJ Abrams says:

Final episodes are shooting now.
And for the
voice on the radio... you'll have to wait and
see...
Miss: Sorry to off your namesake. But Ian
just did such an amazing job, don't you
think?
Then he added this:

Dr: Thank YOU.
Jenn: The finale should (read "will") blow you
away. Damon and Carlton (and the other
writers) wrote perhaps the greatest final
three hours of a series season EVER. It's IN-
FRIGGIN-SANE.
Have a good night, y'all!
JJ

Even though he posted this before those promo's began airing, why not just tell us what the transmission said? I think he want's some controversy surrounding it. The finale is going up against American Idol.
