Anybody else getting the emergency broadcast test this morning?

It's the 15th, I don't know if that is a normal scheduled test or not. It wasn't the usual scroll though. It was a full blue screen with white print and a red border. Last month it was still the scrolling red bar. Anyway, it interrupted my son's cartoon this morning and he hollared for me. I was already on the way because I heard the beeping.

2. The format sucked - 2 lines in English, 2 lines in Spanish, 2 engl...

Not easy to read. Like they did one sentence in English, then repeated it in Spanish, then went onto the next sentence. Not something I'd like to try to read in a hurry. Maybe that's why the format change, so they can do dual languages. It still be much easier to read in paragraph form.
