Replacing an earlier slide that has a CD logo and orange text on the same black background, here's what WKBS's final EBS slide looks like.

WLVI Boston used a similar test card back in the 80s [different font & no EBS logo]

Cool! More WKBS media!

Dan Foley was the announcer for WKBS.

I assume this slide had just been introduced, seeing as the FCC’s shutdown requirement had been dropped earlier that year.

Oh Nice!

@@eascec8374 Nice to see this slide emerge online. Still hoping more will come in the future, hopefully WDIV’s “spinning green lines” test is among them. Do you remember how sought after WXYZ’s test was before it was found?
