Our government tax dollars at work.
I like to listen to classical radio in the background as I work. There was just another announcement on WNIJ.org about the upcoming nationwide test of an alert system. I didn't pay attention at the beginning of the announcement but did catch the website, to which I could go for more information.
How about www.fcc.gov
What's there, in easy view, to learn about the test? Only an unremarkable line item that takes you to a headline, where you must click on a link to a document that will tell you about the nationwide test.
At any rate, there is an alert coming up. Stay calm when your radios and TV go nuts tomorrow, Nov. 9th, at 1:00PM CST, for 30 seconds.

It's FCC.gov, not FTC.gov. Easy to mispronounce or misunderstand.
Ahhh, of course. Thanks, MBlue!!!
On the FCC homepage IS the announcement of the "FEMA, FCC Nationwide Test on the Emergency Alert System". It is a 30-second test that is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 9, at 1:00PM CST.
Question that you should pose is:
What if there's a REAL disaster that occurs during the test? How will we know? Doh.
