UNSOLVED: The Creepiest TV Hack in History
THE MAX HEADROOM INCIDENT. November 22nd, 1987 was a pretty normal evening for t
elevision viewers in Chicago. That night, like every night, Dan Roan was coverin
g sports on WGN-TV, Channel 9.

Then suddenly, the signal was disrupted and screens across the city cut to black
.

Engineers at WGN-TV thought their transmitters were failing.

They weren't. A few seconds later, something crazy happened.

WGN's broadcast signal had been hijacked in what is now known as "The Max Headro
om Incident".

WGN-TV was able to act quickly and get their signal back. But, Two hours later,
it would happen again to another TV station and there was nothing they could do
to stop it.

What happens next remains one of the most bizarre unsolved crimes in television
history.

Let's find out why.
