- Question for broadcasters: when a station runs an EBS test, do you
- actually do more than what it sounds like to a listener:
- which is play a cart that announces the test, and play a tone for
- a few seconds, and make another announcement?
-
- Because all it sounds like to the listener is a test to see if
- the cart marked "eBS test" works! Does anything make a listener
- tune out faster than hearing "this is a test" (besides maybe
- hearing Whitney Houston sing "If..." and you know it's that
- song for the one millionth time)?
