Summary:

"In the cult classic UHF, 'Weird Al' Yankovic is George Newman, a daydreamer who becomes the manager of a small TV station that's losing money as quickly as it's losing viewers. Before long, he's programming shows like Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse, Wheel of Fish, and Raul's Wild Kingdom. But can Channel 62's new popularity save it from sinister forces? To find out..don't touch that dial!"--Container.
