FEMA hijacks Midwest broadcast signals with mistaken presidential alert - On Deadline - USATODAY.com: "A FEMA spokeswoman tells the paper that this 'unintentional disruption' occurred after a new piece of equipment in Springfield, Ill., picked up test signals that were being sent between Cleveland and Richmond, Va. WLS-TV expands on this explanation: 'The federal emergency management agency is adapting satellites to handle emergency messages, and a government contractor Tuesday was testing it for Illinois, except he used active codes to send the message.'
The Congressional Research Service has a report on the emergency alert system."
