Last time I saw the EAS in my town, they did the red screen thing at 0:27, but it was for an AMBER alert and it said tune to channel three. That was a while ago, though. Now, they don't even interrupt us for anything, like tornado warnings. Our old system used to interrupt with a blue screen, a high-pitched tone, and some guy announcing the warnings to us, and that was it. Also, our EAS tests should still be just like 0:27, but green.
The old red screens for warnings. Probably the first EAS screen ever used along with the green screens for tests, mostly likely existed since the EAS was first implemented in 1994.
bebo bebo They are a function of the character generator used with the eas encoder/decoder (which happens to be a sage endec) and it possibly dates back to early 1996 when the sage endec became available.
Yeah, the red screens were my first experience with the Emergency Alert System. Definitely wasn't calming at all as a kid. I would just be watching Cartoon Network, and then BAM! That red screen and the screeching, spine-chilling sound would appear instantly, along with the uncanny text font. I find most other forms of the Alert System to be more tame than this.
i live in louisville, ky and here it's called "Insight digital" aka "communications" and now when ever we have a severe storm it mutes then the box say EaS and then the usual
They used to show these screens for my area back in '03 and '04. But Chicago's now using the plain ol' gray sreen. Nothing all that special, but...it is the EAS.
We did use the red and green ones when Comcast was still Mediacom here. I do remember RCN used the Green Screen and the EASyplus Generators with a Banner Saying Message will exit automatically. Now we use the Calming Description for the Hard of hearing screen(Blue or Gray DASDEC Screens)
Bah. Northwest Oregon EAS alerts are only for Winter storm warnings(last December, 2008. 11" of snow), Severe thunderstorms, and child abductions. And always tests, too.
That's different than here in.....uh never mind. We don't use the EAS for anything in MA (Except the monthly test) See brainsponge for EAS test conducted last year in MA.
Probably because it's the first screen for the EAS ive ever seen. But, back then i was younger, so it freaked the hell outta me, especially on April 20, 2004. Damn, THAT was scary. Holy Shit.
@computerman78654 It was Insight Communications back in 2008...I don't know if it's still there anymore (haven't been back in two years). But I've seen a lot of different cable companies who will use that same scroll. If you look at some of my other videos of EAS, you'll see the black screen one which is used across the nation.
So when someone advertises a new car for 30K, you run down to the dealer with 30 K's in your hand? (You know someone had to say that, Kelly Bundy! hahaha)
I remember this. I was chasing these storms back then, not anymore.
Damn it...I really wanted that diamond band too.

1997, actually. My cable provider used this EAS type until 2010, surprisingly.

The EAS alerts used to scare the crap out of me as a kid. But they did the job.

Especially the EAS tests. If you left your TV on past midnight on loud volume it was horrifying. Had to sleep with the lights on.
We Kentuckians know that warning quite well. Thunderstorms and tornadoes are in this area all the time.
1:00 What the hell was that?
never thought i'd laugh so hard at an eas archival video
He being freaky 🗿
Insight cable (yellow screen + rainbow colored letters + crawled)
You're a free man, Poe.
Wow, that's really different than the one here in Pittsburgh!
How did you record directly from the TV?
Nice video. Lol you were watching Con Air at the beginning XD
i live in louisville, ky and here it's called "Insight digital" aka "communications" and now when ever we have a severe storm it mutes then the box say EaS and then the usual
They interrupted my Con Air! I was recording that!

I remember those screens and one of the tapes we recorded of vhs has EAS red screen

I like this EAS system better than your home one.
"We'll try to bring it back...aaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..."
the guy at the beginning of the warning sounds half asleep lmao
THE HELL IMA DIE
Do you have Bresnan Communications? Bresnan looks exactly like that.
I used to have a Comcast Cable box And my Son was born in 2004
You love it, eh? Tell ya what... If you have cable TV... try going to sleep with the TV on for a whole week....
T-storm it is raining T's.
me too pause at 0:28 my eas looks just like that except it is green and doesn't let me know when an alert is happening.
are you using comcast because you connected the coax cable or av cable
i love eas
How do you record TV
I'm so interested in weather it's so creepy and cool I like it
LOl cover your ears! I love thhese things!
HOLY WHAT IS THAT SIREN FOR IT MASE ME FAINT
Supercell thunderstorm
Probably because it's the first screen for the EAS ive ever seen. But, back then i was younger, so it freaked the hell outta me, especially on April 20, 2004. Damn, THAT was scary. Holy Shit.
What happened?
The Tornado Outbreak For Illinois, Iowa And Indiana.

0:26 i had my volume up and it made me jump
@drummerdo0od Supposedly, that carries the type of warning, times, and counties in that sound. It is annoying, but it's how it works, I guess.
I think it was Insight at the time (2008).
Wow i punched the EAS Once
Man, EAS messagtes freak the hell outta me for some reason...
@ELTIGREROCKS10NEW Uh....TV tuner that's hooked up to the PC and can record....?
awesome!!
I remember when this happened
So when someone advertises a new car for 30K, you run down to the dealer with 30 K's in your hand? (You know someone had to say that, Kelly Bundy! hahaha)
I had one of those on July 17&18th and recorded them all and i was in one too
I was watching this video with my headphones on and it blast in my ear but 1 speaker don't work but my ear did not pop
0:25
Sorry wrong one
Why the fuck does it go to the shipping channel
Because that is Comcast's main EAS station in Evansville, IN...here in Muncie, IN the main EAS station is Lifetime Movies.
Also because he had to tune to QVC, otherwise the alert wouldn't have played.
