About this listen

In 1987 Chicago, two late-night television broadcasts are hijacked by a masked figure spouting nonsense and taunts through distorted audio. No demands. No explanation. And no trace of who did it. Despite FBI and FCC investigations, the identity of the hijacker remains a mystery. Was it a prank, a protest—or something more calculated?
