WGN Channel 9 - Emergency Broadcast System Test - "Tone Deaf?" (1980)

The transfer of this video clip made possible by your generous donations!

Here's a test of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) as broadcast on WGN Channel 9.

If the tone sounds off to you, it's because they screwed-up and only used the 853 Hz tone, instead of a combo of 853 and 960 Hz, as required.

Voiceover by Merri Dee.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Thursday, April 10th 1980 during the 12:00pm to 1pm timeframe.
