The Federal Communications Commission investigated the incident, but never did figure out who was behind the now-legendary incident.This is max headroom's first show that was made by UK TV station channel 4 back in 1985 the show was on late at night for half an hour every week. Then, it seems, the video pirates switched to WTTW in time for “Doctor Who.” WGN had been able to circumvent the intrusion. WGN’s television signal was also hijacked that same evening, during its 9 p.m. “And probably a combination of at least two of those in order to pull this off.” “It had to be a broadcast engineer, a satellite engineer, or a ham radio operator,” he said. WTTW broadcast engineer Al Skierkiewicz said they knew the culprit had to be someone with pretty sophisticated technical knowledge. The next morning, WTTW engineers tried to figure out what had happened, and how. After 90 seconds, the pirate signal disappeared on its own and “Doctor Who” returned.
“And as the content got weirder we got increasingly stressed out about our inability to do anything about it,” he said. “All of a sudden we don’t have ‘Doctor Who’ on the air-we have this Max Headroom mask,” remembers WTTW air director Paul Rizzo.
The staff in WTTW’s master control was frantic.
Indeed, toward the end of the 90-second signal, the imposter exposed his bare bottom to an accomplice who spanked him with a fly swatter. “As it went on it got stranger and stranger,” remembers “Doctor Who” fan Gary Zielinski.
