Tedd..
FYI
  From the NAB, the Nationwide EAS Test scheduled for November 9th at
2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) has been shortened by FEMA. The audio of the
test will now last 30 seconds, instead of the originally planned two and
a half minutes. This will result in a total test time of approximately
45 to 60 seconds (including the data burst tones).

This change was made at the direction of Secretary of Homeland Security
Janet Napolitano.

NAB will be providing more information as they learn more and will be
adjusting the messaging about the Nationwide EAS Test accordingly. They
are also working on revising a new public service announcement to
reflect this change and expect it will be available Friday.
