They not only interrupt what you are watching, they change the channel AND disable your remote control so that you can't switch to anything else.
I don't get them for weather alerts but we do have Emergency Broadcast System tests daily now. They switch my TV to TBS for a few seconds.

I understand the interruptions. Heck, they're a daily occurrence in Florida in the summer! I don 't like the channel-changing thingy, but I'll put up with it if I have to.
BUT, disabling the remote control and removing my ability to make an adult decision about changing the channel is going too far!
Why should I lose tv coverage for four minutes because of a storm that in no way threatens my part of the state?
