  • Robatsea2009, what does the EBS tests look like on the Seattle stations other than KIRO CBS 7 and what did each of the slides look like while the tone played I repeat the tone part on the other Seattle TV stations besides KIRO's.

  • I'm sure I saw them way back when, but can't remember any specifics. The last time I saw one played was a year or two back on KSTW.

  • What did it show while the tone played in this video robatsea2009? Did the slide remain?

  • Exactly what you see here in the clip

  • thanx for posting this! any from king 5 or any other station in seattle? i remember this as a kid!

  • closest so far would be KVOS

  • If this had been an actual emergency, the attention signal you just heard would have been followed by violent explosions, nuclear radiation, and falling debris.

  • ...If this had been an actual emergency, you would have been vaporized by now anyway, so why even bother.

  • kso; i dont know about anyone else, but everytime i hear one of these on tv, i freak. i know its a test but i mean... damn these are scary. they catch your attention though, so thats good.

  • we know its a freaking test!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @6891man, About the WXYZ one, maybe. Upload the real (not fake) KSDK 5 St. Louis EBS test.

  • Will someone please post this WXYZ slide that everyone keeps talking about?

  • not as scary as those from now.Born in the 90's but never knew these were ever made.I've only heard them from the 2000s

  • On the fuzzy memories site of vintage Chicago TV. The WMAQ NBC 5 slide is finally up. Compared to this slide when the tone played on KIRO's remained with the opening words. Anyone catches it on Saturday afternoons in the early 1980s on WMAQ. Fuzzymemories what did it show during the tone on NBC Chicago 5 from November 1981?
