Sorry for the absence in uploads again. I've been under a lot of stress recently and haven't been feeling in the mood to upload any content to my channels.
Recorded on June 5, 2024 with a decommissioned Trilithic EASyPLUS encoder/decoder. Initially uploaded unlisted before being re-uploaded a week later due to an aspect ratio error.
Apologizes for the strange pitch at points. I recorded this in AmaRecTV, which always caps the audio to the video's frame rate for some reason.

![Iowa Child Abduction Emergency Activation(s) - January 30, 2024 (pt. 1)
[As of a few hours after uploading, the child was recovered safely. (source: KCRG)]
First (uploaded) Emergency Alert System capture of the year: A Child Abduction Emergency/Amber Alert message for the state of Iowa, aired during the afternoon hours of January 30, 2024. First activation was received over Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), with the second being the local National Weather Service offices relay.
Per usual, the video feed utilizes a decommissioned Trilithic EASyPLUS receiving audio from a local radio station (KGLI-FM) and recorded onto a blank VHS tape (although the second activation was captured directly from the unit.)
Another activation was done with slightly updated details at the exact same time I went to upload this. It has been separated into its own upload: https://youtu.be/VCNAqBGjSS8 Iowa Child Abduction Emergency Activation(s) - January 30, 2024 (pt. 1)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mP_mymvoEX8/mqdefault.jpg)
![Viacom Enterprises V-of-EAS* (1978/2018, videotaped)
[*nickname given to this particular capture.]
From a rerun of Cannon captured from KTIV-DT3 (MeTV) on February 7, 2018. The episode in question was Point After Death. This was captured using NextPVR and a WinTV HVR-850 ATSC tuner; trimmed with FFmpeg.
I uploaded this separately a few months after I captured it because a user on the CLG Wiki (now AVID) requested me to do so, thinking that since the EAS interrupted the logo, it counts as one of the many variations of the V-of-Doom. Not even I really considered it as such, but I decided to re-upload it on its own anyway.
Ironically, this is also the only time I have ever seen the Viacom V-of-Doom on MeTV. All of the other Cannon episodes Ive seen were plastered with the CBS Television Distribution logo or cut straight to the station ID. Speaking of, this upload also includes the localized MeTV station ID from around this time, although unlike a previous upload this one is presented in full.
For the ones that really care, the tones are powered by a Trilithic EASyCAST Encoder/Decoder. Viacom Enterprises V-of-EAS* (1978/2018, videotaped)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mcDbBBphrGo/mqdefault.jpg)
![WHO-AM Tornado Warning Bulletin - March 5, 2022
[ a Frixs Media Archive 1st! ]
First EASyPLUS capture of the year (the Local Access Alert demonstration does not count), featuring a participant-issued Tornado Warning from WHO, Iowas statewide Primary Entry Point for EAS messages. For some reason, WHO toned the alert for the entire state of Iowa, which tripped KSUXs relay. (I dont remember KMNS going off for this event, as I think they only monitor WHO for the Monthlies and EANs, not weather warnings.)
This was recorded on March 5, 2022 at around 5:17 PM local time to a VHS tape, digitized using VirtualDub2 and deinterlaced with QTGMC. Video footage of a decommissioned Trilithic EASyPLUS receiving radio from KSUX-FM in Sioux City, IA.
[For the geeks: the tones in the video decode to ZCZC-EAS-TOR-019000-019053-019117-019185+0100-0642314-PjFrix -. Im unsure why anybody would want this information because its literally displayed on screen in the video.] WHO-AM Tornado Warning Bulletin - March 5, 2022](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mu3d2Dj9Coo/mqdefault.jpg)

[og description: the original set of render(s) in a Not-So-Shoddy quality.]
It looks like someone had already re-uploaded ver. A (although speed corrected with ffmpeg) to YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icaV4nHUdqQ], so I have decided to re-upload the raw version myself.
This is not my creation. I am only re-uploading this for preservation purposes.

![Retro 8s Live / WeatherSTAR 4000 (style)- June 28, 2023 [partial recording/snippet]
From June 27 to November 3, 2023, The Weather Channel has seemingly decided to bring back its famous Weather STAR 4000 (more accurately, its visuals) for an hour-long week-morning (3 AM CT) broadcast consisting of nationwide local forecasts with smooth jazz. Some may say that this is almost just like the real thing, although if I had to be perfectly honest, nothing can beat the real thing.
About the only critism I have about this (other than the font being used, admittedly its pretty close to whatever the 4000 used back in the day.) is the lack of Current Conditions icons, as the only icon set that appears throughout (from the amount that Ive seen of this) is often associated with the Regional Conditions/Regional Forecast segments.
The content provided is owned by The Weather Channel / Weather Group LLC / Allen Media Group. I am not affiliated with either company, just a long time fan of things like these. On the other hand, the music seems to be sourced from Transition Music according to YouTubes Content ID.
Clipped around Cincinnati since a TCF recreation follows shortly and I wanted to provide some high quality footage of that. For the curious, the full hour has been re-uploaded by TWCZach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcH63awa5ow Retro 8s Live / WeatherSTAR 4000 (style)- June 28, 2023 [partial recording/snippet]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ngrzO93cu4A/mqdefault.jpg)
