They still exist and the broadcast real estate is called 'spectrum'. Then you just need one person with the know-how and ambition to pull something like this off and it's done, and the equipment is put back the next day, and no one is the wiser.ĮDIT: Also, FYI, you now bunny ears, those are broadcast TV antennas. I could easily see how left over equipment used for a demo there or a test in like Chicago could have easily gotten forgotten about by most people who work at a station.I mean 90% of the execs wouldn't even know it existed, aside for maybe the VP of Tech. There's a lot of money spent at these things. The second largest conference in Vegas after CES is NAB (National Association of Broadcasters).at least it used to be up until at least 2000's. Broadcast signals are put on-air for demonstrations and tests when they're putting something new out. They also could have pulled this off by using equipment a station had in storage. There are A LOT of smart engineers out there who could pull this off. I used to work in broadcast TV-the innovation sides - believe it or not lol. The early days of satellite television transmission were almost entirely security through obscurity and thus kind of the Wild West. They might have pirated a satellite feed and then some dude that handled the satellite feeds might have thought it’d be funny to cut to something he saw on a pirate satellite feed. Heck the guy in the mask might not even have had much to do with it. So in the end it was in their best interest to run with the fiction that it was someone using their own equipment. That the broadcaster has s as pretty good idea of who it could be, but that actually proving it would net both Max and the owner of the transmitter a hefty fcc fine. My guess with this incident is that it isn’t really unsolved. These days there’s a lot less signs and a lot more locked doors. I grew up across the street from a hospital and back in the day an “authorized personnel only” sign was a virtual guarantee that a door was unlocked. Abs back in the day access to many things was a lot easier to come by. On May 18th, 2016, YouTuber Night Mind uploaded an episode of the Night Mind Casefiles about the Wyoming Incident story (shown below).Mostly it just requires knowledge and access. On December 6th, 2010, the creepypasta story about the video was submitted to the Creepypasta Wiki. Over the next 10 years, the video accumulated upwards of 2.8 million views. The video starts off with a presidential election speech before the video cuts to static, where it then shows various personal questions on black backgrounds, followed by clips from the original Wyoming Incident videos. On September 10th, YouTuber _ jonrev_ uploaded a video titled "The Wyoming Incident" (shown below). Two days later, the story was submitted in a thread on Something Awful. On February 21st, video clips and links to the story were posted on the Unfiction Forums. On January 25th, 2007, Snopes Forums user DarkDan submitted the story in a thread titled "Wyoming TV Hijack." On February 5th, YouTuber GiveMeANumber uploaded a video titled "Weird Video I Found," showing black-and-white slides of text and disembodied 3D heads (shown below). The hacker has not yet been caught, and all attempts to trace the video have proven futile. Such actions were rare even in the '80s (search for Chicago Max Headroom Incident) and are even more rare today. This video is significant in that is one of the most recent television hijackings. This range of frequency, when played for long periods of time, causes the eyes to subtly vibrate, sometimes inducing visual hallucinations. In this clip, the frequency being played is somewhere between 17 and 19 hz. While some believed it was paranormal, specialists have determined that the cause of these afflictions were frequencies played regularly throughout the broadcast. Complaints included vomiting, hallucinations, headaches, etc. The video is mostly locally well-known, and would probably not even be that popular if it were not for the effects it had on the few residents who watched it for an extended period of time. This clip is taken from one of these intervals. The camera position changed often (usually every ten-to-fifteen seconds) and the video was often interrupted by a "SPECIAL PRESENTATION" announcement. The video contained numerous clips of disembodied, human heads showing various emotions and "poses". A hacker managed to interrupt broadcasts from a local programming channel (believed to serve several smaller communities in the county of Niobrara) and aired his/her own video. The Wyoming Incident (or The Wyoming Hijacking) is a lesser known case of television broadcast hijacking/hacking.
