We watched a really fascinating documentary: Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession about this LA station which, during the 1970s, broadcast a very eclectic assortment of films. Its head of programming was a guy named Jerry Harvey who ended up killing his wife and then himself. Many of the films they broadcast would have languished in obscurity without the build-up that Z Channel gave them. They also originated the director's cut and promoted the letter box format.
