WGN went dark – 30 seconds that shocked America
On November 22, 1987, Chicago viewers watching WGN suddenly saw their screens cut to black. Seconds later, a masked figure resembling Max Headroom appeared, saying nothing — just swaying in silence. Two hours later, the hijacker struck again during a PBS broadcast of Doctor Who. This time, the transmission played all the way through.

One of the greatest mysteries in broadcast history remains unsolved to this day. On November 22, 1987 someone—maybe a group of people—hijacked WGN’s signal and interrupted the 9:00 News. And our Dan Roan was right in the thick of it. As Dan prepares to retire from WGN on May 26th, here are his thoughts on that night in a report from 2017 on the 30th anniversary. | WGN TV
