In 1987, the people in the United States city of Chicago, were watching the evening TV. And then without warning the signal changed. The TV picture flickered and the sound dissolved into a harsh electronic buzz. On the screen appeared a figure wearing a rubber mask of the cult figure Max Headroom, the stuttering, sarcastic, artificially generated TV personality who had become an icon of 80s pop culture. His movements were jerky. His voice distorted and nonsensical. Then suddenly as it began, the broadcast returned to normal. It lasted only seconds. But it was to be one of the most infamous broadcast hijackings in American history.Social media: Instagram - YouTube - TikTok Support us - buymeacoffee.com/engimafromthepodCREDITS:https://allthatsinteresting.com/max-headroom-incidenthttps://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-freakiest-tv-hack-of-the-1980s-max-headroom/https://www.discoveryuk.com/mysteries/max-headroom-broadcast-signal-intrusion-tvs-strangest-hack/https://uppbeat.io/https://uppbeat.io/t/sky-cassette/skynethttps://uppbeat.io/t/tatami/friday-moodhttps://unresolved.me/the-max-headroom-incidenthttps://www.vice.com/en/article/max-headroom-hack-anniversary/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V42ZGKpLC5w Tyler Films: The max headroom incident (archival footage)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKnwhokvgxE The Museum of Classic Chicago Television: WGN Channel 9 - The Nine O'Clock News - "The 1st 'Max Headroom' Incident" (1987)https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Oq2_DoCGizs @billbaud: Max Headroom on Censorship* Although every effort is made to ensure that the episode is researched and accurate we cannot guarantee the complete contents is entirely factually correct *Social media: Instagram - YouTube - TikTok Support us - Buy Me A CoffeeAlthough every effort is made to ensure that the episode is researched and accurate we cannot guarantee the complete contents is entirely factually correct.
