For technical problems:


 * On April 2nd, 2007, during an episode of Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman, ABS suffered a technical fault, which lead to the screen twitching violently and the audio becoming distorted. The show was terminated in the middle of the episode, and ABS ran a rerun of Doraemon (with sound and video unaffected) as a replacement programme.
 * On January 1, 2012, during a showing of Let's Go! Anpanman Club!, the audio went out, but was fixed quickly.

For external broadcasting attacks:
 * On April 3rd, 1996, an unknown intruder overpowered a transmitter used for ABS America's PrimeStar feed, forcing a showing of Let's Go! Anpanman Club! off the air and replacing it with a video, causing viewers that were receiving ABS through PrimeStar to see a video showing a man in a Hamburglar mascot costume acting weird in front of the back of a set of school bleachers, seemingly acting out the same things done in the WGN Max Headroom hijacking, with him being spanked by a woman wearing a Statue of Liberty mascot costume. After the hijacking tape ended, programming from Colorado PBS station KRMA-TV appeared, before cutting back to Let's Go! Anpanman Club!. The hijacker, identified as Louis Arnolds, was charged with broadcast signal intrusion and was sentenced to 4 weeks of probation and the end of the community service he was given punishment for as a result of him spraypainting graffiti on a well-known statue.
 * KRMA-TV and Channel Six, Inc. later confirmed that they were attempting to forcefully splice PBS programming into ABS' feed in an attempt to end the hackers' broadcast.
 * A startled ABS staff member later announced over the show audio wondering "what the hell was going on".
 * (an addition to the Swine Flu intrusion info) An ABS staff member appeared on screen immediately after the DirecTV slide was taken off the air, assuring viewers that Anpanman who be broadcasted again later that day.
 * On the day prior to New Years Eve 2015, a hacker interrupted a episode of Anpanman on ABS America's Xfinity feed with a message claiming the world was going to end on New Year's Day, and that if we don't repent to God by that time, we would be sent to eternal damnation. The intrusion lasted only 12 minutes as Comcast engineers were able to isolate the errant signal and cut it off. The hacker, a conspiracy theorist named Douglas McDowell, was sentenced to probation by the Pennsylvania State Police for broadcast signal intrusion.
