THE MAX HEADROOM INCIDENT. November 22nd, 1987 was a pretty normal evening for television viewers in Chicago. That night, like every night, Dan Roan was covering sports on WGN-TV, Channel 9.

On November 22, 1987, Chicago viewers witnessed two of the strangest TV moments ever when a hacker wearing a Max Headroom mask hijacked the signals of two local stations. The first interruption hit WGN during the 9 PM news, and the second came later that night during Doctor Who on Chicago’s PBS station, WTTW. To this day, no one knows who pulled it off. Nearly 40 years later, it’s still one of the creepiest unsolved moments in television history 👀📺 #80s #genx #maxheadroom #broadcastintrusion #
