Emergency Alert System test flawed by audio woes

Snippets of Emergency Alert System test as it appeared on television in Montana, San Francisco, New York and Denver. One news anchor quipped that the audio-less test didn't seem to work correctly. A Critical Mention sampling of stations failed to detect Lady Gaga in the background audio, but there was plenty of static and distortion.

I was watching Fox news during the test. It lasted less than a second. I blinked and missed it. Good. I'm glad it was an epic fail.
