Wrong question.
You should be asking “which enumerated power within the Constitution allows Obama to do this?”.

"which enumerated power within the Constitution allows Obama to do this?"
Great question!
Obvious answer is
"None" .

“which enumerated power within the Constitution allows Obama to do this?” Commerce clause should do. Its an emergency test crossing state lines, not that it needs to to meet the requirements [none] of the commerce clause.

This is a reasonable exercise of standard FCC powers. Debates about the constitutionality of FCC in general aside, if the FCC acts as a regulatory body it is reasonable for them to request all broadcasters have the ability to deliver a vital emergency message on short notice. I don’t know that there is a punishment for _not_ cooperating with this process.
As another poster noted, what’s odd is that the test is performed so publicly, instead of at some late hour to minimize scaring people.
