Sounds like the kind of tv network Lester Bangs once wrote about in the 1970s where some freaks take over a studio by force and show things like The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Suddenly Stopped Living And Became Mixed Up Zombies.

The rock critic Lester Bangs wrote an appreciative 1973 essay about Incredibly Strange Creatures in which he tries to explain and justify the movie’s value:
...this flick doesn’t just rebel against, or even disregard, standards of taste and art. In the universe inhabited by The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies, such things as standards and responsibility have never been heard of. It is this lunar purity which largely imparts to the film its classic stature. Like Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and a very few others, it will remain as an artifact in years to come to which scholars and searchers for truth can turn and say, “This was trash!”[10]
