On August 11, 2021 at 2pm, FEMA and the FCC are planning a Nationwide Emergency Alert Test. Test messages will be sent to TVs and radios, as well as cell phones that have opted-in to receive test messages.
The emergency alert signal will last about five minutes. At that point, your TV channels will be temporarily interrupted.
Once the test is complete, you may need to reboot your equipment to resume watching TV. To do this, unplug the power, wait 5-10 seconds, then plug the power back in.
To learn more about the alert, please visit fema.gov for more information.
(notice from Suddenlink to customers)
Presumably this will also interrupt all radio and TV broadcasts on the air.
Is that 2 pm ET? 18 UT everywhere? Or depending on timezone? 2 pm CT = 19 UT (gh)
