We were discussing this the other day on this list.

I just had 17.. count 'em, 17 EAS Tests in the span of roughly 30 minutes
here on Comcast Cable in Ridgway, PA.

Sometimes they were space 2 to 3 minutes apart, sometimes only a few
seconds. When a test was about to happen, QVC audio and video would pop on
the channel for a few seconds, the test would happen, then QVC Video/Audio
for a few seconds.. then back to whatever I was watching.
