DISCLAIMER: sorry horror fans this is not a creepypasta So basically, at November 22 1987, two stations in Chicago, Illinois were signal hijacked by a unidentified person in a Max Headroom mask and costume. the wikipedia page on it says: The first incident took place during the sports segment of independent TV station WGN-TV's 9:00 p.m. newscast. Like the later signal intrusion, it featured a person wearing a mask swaying erratically in front of a swiveling corrugated metal panel, apparently meant to resemble Max Headroom's animated geometric background. Unlike the later intrusion, the only sound was a loud buzz. This interruption went on for almost 17 seconds before engineers at WGN were able to regain control of their broadcast tower. The second incident occurred about two hours later during PBS member station WTTW's broadcast of the Doctor Who serial Horror of Fang Rock. With nobody on duty at the affected tower, this signal takeover was more sustained, and the masked figure could be heard making reference to the real Max Headroom's advertisements for New Coke, the animated TV series Clutch Cargo, WGN sportscaster Chuck Swirsky. i think they also did some inappropriate stuff on it, much to the horror of the audience, and now the scratchers of scratch lol.
just saying am to young to have been there but i know this and wanted to share to the world, the information, cuz i like that kinda stuff lol
