RCN has a unique test screen. It looks confusing, i dont have vids, i just saw a rmt that caught me by surprise...
The screen turns black and the cable box starts flashing EAS over and over. The screen changes to a gray background with a red banner that says Emergency Alert System. At this point, the tones go off. Then a blue banner appears at the bottom saying the alert reason (like Required Monthly Test) and the voice comes in. The national test was strange. It said this is a EAN alert!

@kbusuego Because they NEED you to be notified. If it was the sound of a flute or something, people wouldn't wake up >_>

@tinkerbell1129mew After that, it showed the screen of an ACTUAL EAS. Maybe you needed to watch the video more before commenting

It says it's a test at the very beginning. NATION EAS TEST THIS IS A TEST THIS IS ONLY A TEST. I think that you needed to review the video before you said that the viewers were not told this was a test.

@yoshibug100 this is an emergency alert system that is designed to alert people through their televisions and radio, in case they arent outside to hear the outdoor public warning system they test these frequently
@Ryanjoe090 I am from America and It still freaks me out.
