WPTF EBS warning, 1989

You mean the wavy lines one on the other ABC O&O newstarcadefan? The San Francisco one from 1990 is not alike with WXYZ and I also seen KABC's from 1984 while in Michigan during ABC News in 1996 because of the font they used

I wonder how many people didn't do anything and kept watching Sale of the Century XD

I've never heard of an area-wide tornado drill. Interesting.

WPTF is now WRDC, a MyNetworkTV affiliate

Anyone seen the WXYZ EBS test? All posts dealing with the WXYZ test is now on the comments of WPTF Raliegh's video if WhatsAYak have any Detroit material.

@nicka727 I belive before Scripps acquired it, it was the same as WABC, WLS, KGO, KABC, etc since it was an ABC O and O

For the user who had uploaded the Raliegh WPTF test, you remember the WXYZ (ABC affiliate from Detroit, MI) EBS test with the wavy lines of the tone played?

I've heard of the National Weather Service sponsoring EBS/EAS tests, but never once have I come across a statewide tornado drill{ironic, because I live in TX}

[nicka727]

Was it the real WPTF slide?

@nicka727 - As far as I know, though it's possible a different one may have been used for tests.
