i don't specifically remember this happening because i was like 4 or 5 at the time, but it's weird and fucking awesome.

 

The Max Headroom Incident from WTTW Chicago.

 

On a late-November evening in 1987, two Chicago television stations were victims of a broadcast signal takeover.

 

After an earlier hijack attempt on WGN-9 during the 9:00 News , a broadcast on WTTW-11 of the Doctor Who episode "Horror of Fang Rock" was interrupted by a man wearing a Max Headroom mask. The crazed person uttered mostly gibberish and bashed the Chicago Tribune and its subsidiaries, before he dropped his pants and was spanked by what appears to be a child. 90-seconds later, the program returned to normal. To this day, he remains at large.

 

This is a subtitled version of the original footage added as a courtesy due to the low audio quality of the recording. This is a rather old version, eventually I will add new annotations in response to how some of the audio was interpreted.
