Maybe you get these from time to time, a downright weird and/or random recommendation on YouTube. It happens to me a fair bit. Recently, one such recommendation was a recording of a supposed hijacking of CFNY's broadcast signal in the late 1980s. What it even is is difficult for me to describe, but it sounds like something that's deliberately meant to be jarring and unsettling for the listener. As far as I'm concerned, this is most likely one of those modern social media attempts at "Analog horror" whereby a depiction is created in modern times of something frightening, baffling, disturbing or a combination thereof of something that was supposedly broadcast in the era of the prevalence of analog storage media, typically the 1980s to the 2000s. In any case, analog horror simply means "fake vintage recording" and there are many examples of it that I find very creative and entertaining. A thread regarding this was also posted on the Lost Media Wiki forum, but that never went anywhere, nor did the comment section on the YouTube video see any significant response. Does anybody with any memory of that era recall anything the likes of this happening on local airwaves?
