This happened to a PBS channel in Chicago in 1987. The "hacker" took over their broadcast signal interrupting an episode of Doctor Who to blurt garbled obscenities and get spanked with a fly-swatter.

He was never caught.

Here's his dialogue:

"He's a freaky nerd!"

"This guy's better than Chuck Swirsky." (a WGN -TV sportscaster at the time)

"Oh Jesus!"

"Catch the wave." (a reference to the New Coke marketing slogan)

"Your love is fading."

(hums the theme song to the 1959 TV series "Clutch Cargo")

"I stole CBS."

(unintelligible)

"Oh, I just made a giant masterpiece printed all over the greatest world newspaper nerds."

"My brother is wearing the other one."

"It's dirty."

"They're coming to get me!"
