![The National Periodic Test of 2023 - October 4, 2023 (TV/Video Captures)
Various recordings of the National Periodic Test as it happened on October 4, 2023. Unlike the previous two tests and like the 2018 test, we get a completely different voice message and the alert got issued over FEMAs IPAWS Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) feed.
Additional special thanks to IowanEASFan (@theshitpostsofmsxdotgay976 ) for recording KSXE-LD. I was initially going to, but ran out of time and my recording failing before it could even reach 1:20 PM.
RECORDINGS:
0:00 - KTIV-DT (Gray-owned NBC affiliate)
Crawl only. Featuring a new crawl as part of the recent Gray rebrand package. The recording prior to the test was recorded during News 4 at Noon.
1:17 - KSXE-LD (SagamoreHill-owned Grit affiliate) [*recorded by IowanEASFan]
A Frixs Media Archive 1st! This is the first time I have uploaded any bulletins from that particular channel. Like KTIVs relay this too was crawl only. Although unlike KTIV it just shows the IPAWS CAP message and probably the slowest crawl Ive ever seen.
Rather than bore you for a few minutes of muted copyrighted content and a ticker thats nearly as slow as molasses, I have trimmed it to its third revolution (the recording had 4 in total) and fast-forwarded through some of it.
2:26 - KPTH-DT3 (Sinclair-owned CBS affiliate; formerly belonged to KMEG-DT)
About the only thing worth noting is that the crawl container stayed on-screen for about 13 seconds.
3:50 - KPTH-DT1 (Sinclair-owned Fox affiliate)
Ditto, although unlike the CBS affiliate it stays on-screen for a few more seconds.
5:09 - KSIN-DT (Iowa PBS, formerly Iowa Public Television) [blurred to avoid a worldwide block]
I havent seen Iowa PBS relay from CAP in quite some time.
6:29 - KXNE-DT (Nebraska Public Medias PBS afiiliate) [blurred to avoid a worldwide block]
This is the only TV EAS from the batch that did not relay from IPAWS. (probably KXNE-FM.)
7:28 - Trilithic EASyPLUS (decommissioned unit relaying from KGLI-FM, an iHeart-affiliated Adult contemporary station)
Recorded to DVD using a Panasonic DMR-ES15 DVD Recorder. I wouldve been on campus as this happened but I managed to schedule a recording earlier in the morning.
Although I tried to record KCAU-DT and one of the channels DIRECTV offers, the former chose not to relay the test and DIRECTV Stream does not relay national level Emergency Alert System messages.

![Iowa State Emergency Alert System Test - March 6, 2019 (raw recording)
[Audio was slightly altered from its original version. Thatd teach me for using a Dazzle DVC100 for capturing this.]
I had originally uploaded this around March 9, 2019, however cut the footage down to fit under 1 minute and 49 seconds. This is the full 5 minute recording from March 6, 2019. The shortened version can still be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ijUaTclXAQ
Recorded on March 6, 2019 directly from a decommissioned Trilithic EASyPLUS. The station audio throughout the video is KSEZ-FM in Sioux City, Iowa.
Chapter list:
0:00 - partial intermission from station (i legitimately dont know what this part would be called. please help.)
0:24 - WWE Live at Tyson Events Center promo
1:08 - Liberty Mutual Customization ad
1:38 - Loews ad
2:07 - Fareway ad
2:23 - Hardees ad
2:52 - Target Pick-up ad
3:06 - Aventure Staffing New Years ad
3:35 - ((unknown ad, potentially a local surgery center?))
3:43 - SAME triple header (from station; a couple of seconds in you can see the screen flicker from the Trilithic accepting the headers as valid.)
3:49 - First 853 and 960 Hz EBS tone (from station)
3:58 - Second 853 and 960 Hz EBS tone (from receiving station, wouldve been cut off if KMNSs ATTN Threshold was set properly, or the other stations audio was more clear.)

4:21 - SAME end-of-message tones (from KSEZ-FMs encoder)

The Weather Channel experiences a blip returning to longform programming from commercials, featuring a look at their emergency feed as per usual. We also cut into Retro 8s Live, where the music is left out for a few seconds.
Recorded during Retro 8s Live on June 28, 2023 at around 3:52 am CDT. In addition to the few minutes I uploaded earlier, [https://youtu.be/ngrzO93cu4A] you can view the entire broadcast from this morning over at TWCZachs YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/GcH63awa5ow

![South Dakota Child Abduction Emergency Message - May 29, 2021
[message no longer active as of 6:03 PM CDT on May 29; children were recovered safely.]
Another one of those this caught me off-guard alerts. Recorded on May 29, 2021 at around 5 PM onto a blank VHS tape. The video feed was a decommissioned Trilithic EASyPLUS receiving local radio stations.
Additionally, there is a TV recording of this alert from a local station captured by Austin BigBoi: https://youtu.be/NIniowrIPBQ South Dakota Child Abduction Emergency Message - May 29, 2021](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FzOZLif5jtY/mqdefault.jpg)
