WTTW Chicago - Max Headroom Pirating Incident 11-22-87 (Comments by submitter)
"Actual video of an infamous signal hijacking incident in Chicago in 1987. An episode of Dr. Who on Chicago's PBS station was interrupted by a guy in a Max Headroom costurme babbling. The same stunt was pulled on WGN during a news broadcast earlier the same day, though there was no audio from the pirate the first time and WGN was able to cut away much sooner. To this day, the perpetrator is unknown."

Here are two links providing details on the incident ( 1, 2 )
