To quote the Wikipedia page:
In the United States, the UHF stations gained a reputation for being locally owned, less polished and professional, not as popular, and having weaker signal propagation than their VHF channel counterpartsUHF is where - historically, we had the late-night creature features and the Horror Host phenomenon.
While not quite Public Access, the line occasionally blurred on UHF stations.
The whole phenomenon of UHF was parodied in Weird Al's film UHF.
This channel will not have a single set mod - anyone who wants to group-watch a film can post an air date and links to where it can be found online. We'd prefer films which are on Netflix or are free via Amazon Prime, but that's not a requirement. We'd also prefer that there not be more than one UHF program per week.
Films chosen for this show should be unique and (ideally) cheesy in some way. These can be low-budget cheese-fests like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, or it can be a cult classic like Repo Man or Highlander. The original Clash of the Titans and - indeed - most of the old Harryhausen films work, here. As will Conan, or Red Sonja or The Crow. It doesn't necessarily need to have been a flop, either. Flight of the Navigator, or The Last Starfighter are both perfectly acceptable films for this station.
These should be films which can be described as fun. But these films shouldn't be good or deep or meaningful.
