Thirty years ago today, a person or persons unknown briefly hijacked the signal of two Chicago television stations, broadcasting a bizarre taped message from a man wearing a Max Headroom mask. The "broadcast intrusion" interrupted a primetime news broadcast from Chicago's WGN, and then (more successfully) the 11:00pm broadcast of Dr. Who on the Chicago public television station WTTW. To this day, the perpetrators of the television hack remain unknown.

I feel like he was legit. During his spiel Coast to Coast's transmitters got shut down. Maybe it was a coincidence, but the fact that somebody called in a week or so later claiming to be that guy saying it was a hoax leads me to believe it was all government damage control and the original story was real.
Levi Cox
Haven't (((they))) already hijacked the airwaves?
