Note: The Max Headroom signal hijacking occurred on the night of November 22, 1987, when the television broadcasts of two stations in Chicago, Illinois were hijacked in an act of broadcast piracy by a video of an unidentified person wearing a Max Headroom mask and costume, accompanied by distorted audio and a corrugated iron panel swiveling in the background to mimic Max Headroom's geometric background effect. This is a transcription of the second hijacking, which occurred at about 11:20 pm that night, when the signal of local PBS station WTTW was interrupted during an airing of the ''Doctor Who'' serial ''Horror of Fang Rock''.
