Some Watching TV Yesterday Didn't Get Emergency Signal

The FCC and FEMA monitored live tweets and other social media during yesterday's first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System, WTOP reported. And the results are mixed. A 30-second alert tone was sent over radio and TV signals. But some people watching TV didn't get the message. In fact, some with DirectTV heard Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" during the test, while other cable customers never saw the test at all. Others had the channel change to QVC. FEMA director Craig Fugate live tweeted encouraging people to share what they saw and heard. His agency is now collecting data on how the test went.
