@peakster753 - Yeah, that was odd...as I recall, they added a "this station serves the 5 boros of NYC" line to the closing spiel sometime in the mid-80s.
I think my CBS station WJBK did run an EBS test on a Sunday morning for numerous times during the 1980s to compare with the other CBS O&O's WBBM Chicago and WCBS in NYC. WJBK rarely runs EBS tests on weekdays and it is the known station that runs mostly on weekends in Detroit.
Speaking of the WCBS video that aired on Sunday Morning, Chicago's WBBM airs EBS tests every Sunday Morning at 8:30am. I think WCBS does the same way like WBBM
it was called ebs bfore eAs?

@luizgazitamenfilms yup...if you read their respective Wiki pages, you'll realize that the EBS was retired in favor of the EAS in 1997
