UHF (released internationally as The Vidiot from UHF) is a 1989 American comedy film starring "Weird Al" Yankovic, David Bowe, Fran Drescher, Victoria Jackson, Kevin McCarthy, Michael Richards, Gedde Watanabe, Billy Barty, Anthony Geary, Emo Philips and Trinidad Silva; the film is dedicated to Silva who died shortly after principal filming. The film was directed by Jay Levey, Yankovic's manager, who also co-wrote the screenplay with him. It was released by Orion Pictures and is presently owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Yankovic stars as George Newman, a shiftless dreamer who stumbles into managing a low-budget television station and, surprisingly, finds success with his eclectic programming choices, in part spearheaded by the antics of a janitor-turned-children's television host, Stanley (Richards). He provokes the ire of a major network station that dislikes the competitive upstart. The title refers to the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) analog television broadcasting band on which such low-budget television stations often were placed in the United States.

I have returned! And with, doubtlessly, my strangest kill count yet. You wouldn't expect a comedy starring "Weird Al" Yankovic to have a kill count. And yet it does, mostly thanks to a late film sequence that parodies the "Rambo" series. How many mooks does the world famous parody artist assassinate? Watch to find out!
UHF - Sender mit beschränkter Hoffnung (1989) George Newman ("Weird" Al Yankovich)ist ein Tagträumer, deshalb behält er die Jobs, die er bekommt auch nie länger als ein paar Tage. Sein Onkel bietet ihm den Job des Managers des kleinen Fernsehsenders Kanal 62 an. Dieser steht kurz vor dem Bankrott, doch George, zusammen mit seiner Freundin und seinem besten Freund, schafft es mit so außergewöhnlichen Sendungen wie „Wheel Of Fish", einer Quizshow wo man Fische gewinnen kann oder „Raul's World of Kingdom", wo Pudel aus dem dritten Stock fliegen, den Sender an die Spitzenposition der Einschaltquoten zu befördern. Doch der TV Mogul R.J. Fletcher, dessen Einschaltquoten sinken, will aus Kanal 62 einen Parkplatz machen. George muss nun viel Geld aufbringen, um seinen kleinen Sender zu retten......
