That Night In 1987 When Max Headroom Took Over Two Chicago Television Stations.
On November 22, 1987, two Chicago television stations had their broadcast signals hijacked by an unknown person wearing a Max Headroom mask and sunglasses. The first incident took place for 25 seconds during the sportscast on the 9 O’Clock news on WGN-TV Channel 9 and two hours later around 11 o’clock on PBS affiliate WTTW Channel 11 for about 90 seconds during a broadcast of the Doctor Who episode “Horror of Fang Rock”. The hacker rambled on making reference to Headroom’s endorsement of Coke, the series Clutch Cargo, and WGN anchor Chuck Swirsky. A homemade Max Headroom background rocked back and forth as he rambled, and the video ended with a pair of exposed buttocks being spanked with a flyswatter before normal programming resumed. The culprits were never caught nor identified.
