Max Headroom 1987 Pirate TV Incident

Some of you may be familiar with this one but for those that aren't, here's a quick rundown of the events. * The first incident occurred during the sports segment of the WGN 9:00 p.m. news broadcast; During the sports section of the 9pm news broadcast on Americas WGN network, an unauthorised signal over powered the sations transmitters and was broadcast for over a minute. The signal had no audio, but the video was of someone in a Max Headroom mask gesturing at the camera.

The second of these incidents occured during the evening broadcast of Dr Who on WTTW. This time the signal had audio and viewers were witness to a unintelligble rant from the 'fake' Max Headroom character.

We have cleaned the audio up somewhat and removed a lot of the noise present. Although the vocoding type interference is still there it should be a lot easier to understand what is being said in this version.

This is a case in which, the fuzzier and unclearer the audio and resolution, the scarier the video
