We have an important programming alert you need to be aware of.

At 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, there will be the first-ever nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System.

This is how the federal government would alert the public in case of a national emergency.

Again, this will only be a test. It's expected to last three minutes after which our regularly scheduled programming will continue.
