Heres another example of how Emergency Broadcast System tests were handled by local stations back in the day - in this case, from KXAS Channel 5 in Fort Worth-Dallas, TX.
(NOTE: Another EBS test from another Dallas-Fort Worth station - WFAA Channel 8, from 1978 - can be seen here: https://youtu.be/_9SvldZ8zs0 )
Includes:
Ending of PSA for The Family Place (a shelter for battered women) (voiceover by ??)
This is followed by the obligatory Emergency Broadcast System test (voiceover by ??)
The test - two tones, played simultaneously at 853 and 960 Hz, per FCC guidelines - only lasted a bit more than 23 seconds. The rest in this 60-second test were the This is a test... intro at the start, and the outro script at the end (both of which were also shown on screen as they were being read). However, there is no indication (between the actual emergency spiel and This concludes this test...) of which area this station serves (which would have been the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex).

![ON TV - Orson Welles at The Magic Castle (1978) [LOST Special] 🏰 📺](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pO3b2PsnSgI/mqdefault.jpg "ON TV - Orson Welles at The Magic Castle (1978) [LOST Special] 🏰 📺
A spooky treat! 🎃
Sourced from a relatively-good Betamax dub, (who knows where the original recording went? Not us) heres the (seemingly) complete broadcast of a heretofore long-lost pay-tv special — Orson Welles at The Magic Castle, as shown over the ON TV subscription service (research found that it also aired on Showtime in September 1978).
A remembrance by Abb Dickson, from the book Orson Welles Remembered - I picked up the phone, I called Orson, I said, “Look, I’ve written this Magic special...” I said, “I need for you to do the introduction and the in-and-out. It will probably be one day of shooting, at the most two, and I’ve only got, I think, $25,000. Will you shoot this?” And he said, “Sure! But I get the extra film.”
We go across the street to Columbia Pay Television and in less than an hour we have sold a special called Orson Welles at the Magic Castle. Orson and I worked out all of the intros and outros. So he showed up, we did our tape, we did our intros, we shot for that one day, and the next morning we were to finish the outside shots where Orson arrived at the Castle — full of fog — and he gestures and the doors open and he walks into the Castle. Well, Orson called me at about 7 o’clock in the morning and said, “I’m not coming. I’ve shot everything they need, you can shoot the rest of it. I’ll send you my wardrobe, but you’re going to have to have a hat made because your head is smaller than mine and my hat won’t fit you.” So I’m the one outside, gesturing in the cape and wandering through the fog, and I was the one who finished the shot.
(NOTE: Several library music cues featured in the special had to be modified for posting here)
Includes:
Our host (surreptitiously played by Abb Dickson in disguise) introduces us outside the castle and describes what - and who - are allowed in it, followed by the opening title
Orson enters the building where strange things are happening, and Abb Dickson (in fez) explains about, and demonstrates, the Indian rope trick
He then turns the program over to Abb who introduces the following guests:
- Peter Pit, from Holland; does various tricks and jokes
- Ger Copper, who does various tricks
- Kuda Bux, The Man with the X-Ray Eyes from Pakistan
- A look at piano player Invisible Irma (a ghost) on display at the Irma Room
- More magic from Peter Pit (with magical floating cane) at the Palace of Mystery
- Jay Marshall, in the Conjurers Corner, does tricks involving large rings
- After his piece ends, we hard cut to Abb (in a King Tut costume) presiding over it
- Hard cut again, bringing us inside the Parlour of Prestidigitation, with Albert Goshman, who does tricks with two women, Wendy and Eileen, in attendance
- Abb does tricks with an Oriental theme
- A filmed segment with Orson doing magic
Orson then closes the program (I remain as always, obediently yours...) with credits:
