I was in NYC for the Independence Day weekend, and the announcements at the official end of the 6 line were very much of the "get off the train now" type. I did hear the "next stop will be the uptown platform" announcement, but it was surrounded by "all passengers must get off the train" announcements -- including at least one by the conductor.

What I was very dissapointed was, was the fact that the station was dimly lit and there is a very bad photo - op.
