Actually they've been running tests here overnight almost all week. It has REALLY screwed up the Comcast TV and net between 1AM and 5AM! SLOW net, sometimes completely blocked. On TV the channel changes by itself, mostly bumping from Fox or PCNC to a shopping channel.

The MetrSource news feed we use is also affected. When the Comcast test runs the Metro news feed locks and it's clock is messed up. Metro is NOT on Comcast and feeds from Phoenix so it looks like it is a co-ordinated, nationwide test.

I told the engineer and he could care less.

Meanwhile the wireless net I use my Edge on at work is not with Comcast and works fine.

Forgot to add that the scroll claims that a LOCAL EAS station has moved the test BUT nit does NOT say which one, i.e. KDKA, WQED, my stations, WSHH, WJAS and WMNY, or the other outlets. It also does not come across our EAS box until hours later and even then it doesn't say where it originated from. By law it has to be relayed within an hour of the original message and the originator must be logged.

VERY CURIOUS!

OH, BTW in the latest radio ratings WPGB is now a STRONG secopnd place right behind WDVE! My station WSHH dropped from tied in second to 5th. For our purposed it doesn't matter as long as we are in the top 7 or even 10 we're OK. This month and December are always strong for us because of the Christmas music we play so we'll be back up to probably 3rd.
