Welcome back to The Chronicles of Trevor, the blog that's become a sort of Oddity Archive clone. No offense, but I love that show. Ben Minnotte is a legend!
The National Periodic Test originated November 9, 2011, where it was a failure. Some stations had the test message in a feedback loop, DirecTV subscribers were serenaded by Lady GaGa's "Paparazzi", and a few stations had silence!
After that catastrophic failure, the next tests went MUCH more smoother. 2020 and 2022 had no NPT as a result of the disease we shall not speak of, and the holidays, respectively. So this is the 1st test after the one-year hiatus.
I wish all stations good luck with the test!
Update: I got the alert on my phone. It even played the signal.
This is a scrrencap of how it looked on independent station WHDH-7, during an airing of Allen Media Group's version of Funny You Should Ask (no big loss there).
