Description

On the night of November 22, 1987, television viewers in Chicago expecting the nightly news and a Doctor Who broadcast were met with something far stranger. A man wearing a rubber Max Headroom mask hijacked two TV stations, speaking in distorted gibberish and chaotic gestures before disappearing as suddenly as he arrived. No one was ever caught, no one confessed, and to this day, it remains one of the most infamous unsolved acts of media piracy. In this episode, we dive into the bizarre mystery of the Max Headroom broadcast hijack.
