Two between 1 and 1:20 a.m. in the D.C. market. FWIW, it seems that I can tell when an EAS was issued if I was recording something on my DVR during the time. The program will essentially fracture around the time when the alert takes place. For instance, I have three recordings for the Late Late Show last night, one for before the first EAS alert, one in between the alerts, and one after the second.
