Broadcast Interruptions: Australia’s Channel 7 Mayday Incident

Welcome to FYB’s Wednesday Post featuring Australia’s Channel 7 Mayday Incident which is One of Several Broadcast Interruptions (More commonly known as Television/Radio Piracy) Posted here at FYB. If You’re interested They are Posted in the Strange and Disturbing Video Section. A Hijacking of a Broadcast Signal is Officially Know as a Broadcast Signal Intrusion (BSI) is as Follows. A Broadcast Signal Intrusion is the Hijacking of Broadcast Signals of Radio, Television Stations, Cable Television Broadcast Feeds or Satellite signals Without Permission Nor License. Hijacking incidents have involved local Television and Radio Stations as well as Cable and National Networks.

                    

What Happened:

On January 3, 2007, in Australia, during a Broadcast of an Episode of the Canadian Television Series Mayday (known in Australia as Air Crash Investigation) on the Channel 7, an Audio Signal unexpectedly started playing, clearly saying in an Southern American Accent, “Jesus Christ, Help Us All, Lord.” It’s Important to Note Some People Believe the Voice Message Actually Says “Jesus Christ, Help Us All Lord, Fuck.” This same Voice Message continued to Repeat Itself over and over during the Show for a Total of Six Minutes. A Spokesman for Channel 7 later Denied that the Transmission was a Prank or a Security Breach and Claimed that the Repeated Line was part of the Original Broadcast and said, “Jesus Christ, one of the Nazarenes”, although there is Hardly any Similarity between the Two Phrases. A Subsequent Investigation by Independent Researchers revealed that the Invading Transmission was actually from a Videotaped News Broadcast of a Civilian Truck being Ambushed in the Iraq War. It Remains Unknown whether or not this was an Intentional Act of Television Piracy or a Genuine Glitch of Some Sort.

                   

 Eye Witness Account:

” In Melbourne, Australia, on 3rd Jan 07, channel 7 aired a program about a plane wreck “Mayday”. From the start of the program the audio is a loop of a voice seeming to say “jesus christ help us all lord fuck”. It looped for maybe 10 minutes. I was watching at the time and shot part of it with my phone video. According to very reliable sources, there are many unsatisfied employees at channel 7. I have since been contacted by Preston Wheeler who is the man who actually shot the original video , and I have no reason to doubt him.” -User nedler-
