lol. Mine too. Now if only they would cancel the local tests. Those are the worst. Sometimes they “test” two or three times a week and claim “this is the weekly test of the local broadcasting system”.....UGH!!!!! Oh and I can see them starting this somehow with the internet....at least I would not put it past them.

This test does involve the internet. I got a long message from my ISP explaining how to handle it, including advice on how to reboot. Just in case there were problems.

Broadcasters (both radio and TV) are required to do at least one “Weekly Test” every week and one “Monthly Test” every month (more than that is overkill). If they do not do the required tests, they can lose their broadcast licenses from the FCC. Blame the government, not the local radio or TV station.

Ever since Bush, but more so with Obama, I hear those things all the time. Also, sometimes all the channels on cable do it at the same time.
