March 28, 2008 - This Is a Test - Emergency Alert System

Now back on KZread!
I got my parents permission to borrow a VHS tape. It was recorded using a cheep-o Sylvania VHS/DVD Combo (I don't think they're using it anymore due to inferior quality). I played it back using my Panasonic PV-9450 Omnivision, which plays back much better than that cheep-o Sylvania. The sound wouldn't be so unstable. Here, I used a low resolution Dazzle DVC-80 video capture from the tape. I would use the line-in to record the audio since I always get better results that way.
Notice that both test contain a "This is a test" announcement followed by something from a radio broadcast (maybe WATB FM) with a weather report followed by Billy Joel singing "Moving Out". Maybe both tests had the same recording but the second time was muffled.
These days, whenever our cable system does a test, it would be red screen only without text.
Brace yourself! This could scare the [your word here] out of ya!

    I think I can see that the two tests are different only by the aspect ratios of the pre-test shows. I realized that the live performance at the beginning was in a 4:3 AR, and Conan O'Brien and Jerry Seinfeld's entrances were in a 16:9-esque AR. But were they two different tapings of different days? I've never heard of the EAS interrupting the same network more than once with the EXACT same procession of material.

    I think nothing's a better perfectly timed EAS than either: •a couple about to do their first kiss •when a dangerous situation occurs, and someone is likely about to get rescued •a good character is in a flatline and were about to know if he/she has revived, among others... Then this happens. An alternative cliffhanger, possibly.
