This episode revisits the infamous Max Headroom Signal Hijacking of November 22, 1987, when television broadcasts in Chicago were mysteriously taken over by an unknown individual wearing a Max Headroom mask. What began as a brief interruption escalated into a longer, more disturbing intrusion during a PBS broadcast, filled with distorted audio, mocking commentary, and surreal behavior.

The hijacker demonstrated advanced technical knowledge, overpowering broadcast signals with precision—yet no suspect was ever identified. Despite investigations by broadcasters and the FCC, the case went cold, leaving behind no equipment, confessions, or explanations.

Viewed by many as an early act of media rebellion, performance art, or a warning about the fragility of mass communication, the incident remains one of television history’s most unsettling mysteries—a moment when control of the airwaves was lost, and never fully explained.
