UHF

In the 1989 comedy film "UHF," Weird Al Yankovic stars as George Newman, a daydreaming slacker who stumbles into managing a low-budget television station and surprisingly succeeds with his eclectic programming choices. The title refers to the ultra high frequency (UHF) analog television broadcasting band on which such low-budget stations were often placed in the United States. With an odd array of programming, George's antics provoke a major network station, leading to a battle for ratings that culminates in a surprising victory for Channel 62.
