UHF (film): Difference between revisions

* [[Market-Based Title]]: Since the concept of UHF stations differs overseas (as some countries, like the UK, moved everything to UHF years ago), they asked Al for an alternate title. He suggested "The Vidiot".

** In a prime example of [[Executive Meddling]], the film was released in some countries, much to Al's chagrin, as "The Vidiot From UHF". This succeeded in transforming an incomprehensible title to a terrible one.

** The concept of the small independent UHF station running [[Anime]] cartoons into the wee hours does exist in [[Japan]].

** The United Kingdom, on the other hand? Most stations are regional, not local, and the majors (BBC1, BBC2, ITV, 4) are routinely transmitted on adjacent sets of channels from the same (BBC-owned) sites.

** Of course, [[Technology Marches On|modern televisions don't differentiate between UHF and other frequencies, and haven't for years]], so it's not much better in the US anymore.

* [[Media Watchdog]]: The FCC appeared in the end of UHF.

* [[Metaphorgotten]]: George delivers many of these.
