National Emergency Alert System Test with audio failure.

[@Woahago]

God i miss the old looking Local on the 8s

[@CristianGarcia-jy2se]

Esoteric NanBoii right

[@loser2466]

Same!

[@GetDeported420]

Here’s the full text scroll: This is an Emergency Action Notification. All broadcast stations and cable systems shall transmit this Emergency Action Notification Message. This station has interrupted its regular programming at the request of the White House to participate in the Emergency Alert System. During this emergency, most stations will remain on the air providing news and information to the public in assigned areas. This is (station call name). We will continue to serve the (EAS Local Area name area). If you are not in this Local Area, you should tune to stations providing news and information for your Local Area. You are listening to the Emergency Alert System serving the (EAS Local Area name) area. Do not use your telephone. The telephone lines should be kept open for emergency use.

[@GetDeported420]

As per the 2007 EAS Handbook.

[@petergoldberg7509]

This is when the weather channel local on the 8s was 4,662 times better

[@CraigBaker96837]

I love the fact that the message scroll was the actual script from the old days of the EBS.

[@loser2466]

Conelrad actually it all started with conelrad since they started that script but in the conelrad era you had to tune in to either of the two am radio stations for information when it was replaced by the ebs it took the same script for the ean, but now the whole two radio stations thing became redundant and extended to like what is now primary entry points and all that

[@tinkerbell1129mew]

i need to get cable back...i miss the weather channel!!

[@mrgameshow01]

URGENT MESSAGE: Just recieved commercial on Tv about National EAS test from July 3, 2012 and will happen on November 9, 2012. Obviously, this test will be considered a yearly test

[@KHPRWeatherNews]

A few channels around here have the black screen on selective channels for whatever reason. Usually, comcast gives a red ticker with no message of a warning, as the program continued.

[@theunknown7683]

I told them no heavy machinery in the test room. Cmon now.

[@tompusch3044]

If someone watching this specific test wasn't tuned to the weather channel or any other channel that let viewers know about the nationwide EAS test prior to it, as well as the person watching tv not realizing there's a test coming, that person will probably believe there's a real emergency situation affecting the US. I for one would've crapped my pants right then and there.

[@somepersonwhowatchesandhas5198]

And I think that's why the National Periodic Test(NPT) event code was created, so they didn't have to use the EAN code just to test this shit on a scale like that.

[@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens]

If yall don't know already, WCCO AM had some problems which was that static. WCCO is the primary entry point system for MN so thats why it was static.

[@garyhstorms10]

I really liked the Weather Channel for the Music that they used to play during the Local on the 8s from the mid 90s and early 2000s but now i don't care much for it anymore because they changed to this HD stuff also i liked the older song playlists that they did and the graphics i really liked the Weatherscope era from 1996 to1998 you can type in the term and Local on the 8s and there are a lot of videos that other users have posted if your not interested that is ok

[@mrgameshow01]

There is a Rockford in MN? I live in Rockford, IL. lol

[@MercysNo.1]

I miss the old jazzy Weather Channel

[@TheNESTLEH]

They did it too on Univision 62 WVEA-DT in Tampa Bay, FL, but right when they were announcing where the test was effecting! Talk about a Spanish failure. Also, they have to do it in Spanish, not in English. They said it was a actual EAN, but it was just a test.

[@jasonbolden4767]

On DirectTV, you would've heard Lady Gaga instead.

[@NitroFury]

I wish could see this in person, but I missed it. Damn you school!

[@vhsmaniaman6986]

They should bring back this style of Local on the 8s 😔

[@cerealboxfilms3454]

[@JordanBahrPian-UkePlayer]

[@MoonlightMirage]

Oh man that Local on the 8s though, miss that version so much

[@marigoldmusic33]

[@ThunderBoi-ft3wg]

[@advokatie]

[@electricbrooke]

@ironike11 Yeah. You should have said 4:08, or 2:00 for a description.

[@PiggyPorkchop]

Lol I saw the same exact broadcast in Minnesota

[@Woahago]

Dude same

[@TheCarWashChannel]

What would have happened if you changed the channel during the test?

[@Hur1caneAaron]

You cant change it or i think if you change the channel it stay the same

[@TheCarWashChannel]

Aaron Hernandez Maybe it would have come up with an error?

[@TheGamerWithMore]

You can't change it until the EOM tones come through or the cable provider turns off the EAS box.

[@FairPlay137]

+TheCarWashChannel You can't. The channel buttons don't work when the EAS is on.

[@graciewol6041]

You can change the channel, but it was broadcast on all channels with varying results of failure in the audio depending on the channel and what cable company you used.

[@Train2589]

skip to about 4:10.

[@dobmaster4412]

What if you change the back

[@bradsullivan2454]

I love the music

[@electricbrooke]

Actually skip to 4:08.
