BRIAN WILLIAMS, anchor: Today was the day for the first ever big test of the everybody-at-once national emergency alert, and in most places, on TV and radio at 2 Eastern time , the alert sounded, you heard the test, which, by the way, the FCC asked us not to play for people tonight so they wouldn't be alarmed. There were some weak spots where it just didn't work and they're going to work on it, hopefully, before they need it real time.
