Mock Emergency Broadcast System Test WHEN Syracuse 1970s
Loading...
Uploaded by CobraKing619 on Aug 28, 2008
Imagine driving around in the early to mid 1970s while listening to AM radio you hear a catchy tune that turns out to be an EBS Test. You think that's funny imagine listening to this during an EAN not so funny. My apologies to the city of Syracuse if this brings back any nightmarish memories.

IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY WE ALL SING SO GAYLY

Why do American, Canadian, Mexican, Japanese and Phillipino radio stations have a 4 letter code assigned to them, rather than a name? In the UK, you can call it what you like, even Reginald or Fred. So long as it's distinctive, not over six words long, obscene or defamatory, or violates trademark laws, you're set.

Do they play this when there is an actual emergancy.

I wonder how many different EBS test jingles there were before the FCC banned them. I've seen a couple others on YouTube.

I like the happy music before the test.

did this actually get played on WHEN? I mean they go for a specific station and everything so I find it funny and ironic if this actually at some point played on the Syracuse and Central New York airwaves.

@jesteranime yeah they did use to play this on tests in the mid to late 70s until the FCC laid the smackdown on WHEN for what they deemed singing the script in a comedic manner

Because the FCC didn't find anything funny about this jingle and banned it's use in the late 70s. They really want to emphasize the threat of mortality when broadcasting alerts and nothing does that more than ear piercing tones and absolute urgency in the announcements.
