Today is the first ever test of the National Emergency Broadcasting system, which can only be triggered by the White House. It will go off at 2 PM EST, and will preempt all television and radio programming for about 1 minute. Some radios and TVs may turn on automatically in response to the signal, and some may fail to show the "This is only a test" infographic. But don't panic - it is only a test.

Given that I didn't have the radio on (rarely do) and don't have satellite or cable, I heard nothing. Goes to show, like others have said, that the system needs to be updated to include newer tech if it is to be effective.
