Channel 12 Broadcast is a satirical short that reimagines the morning news as a surreal battleground. Anchors Janis and Thomas trade passive-aggressive jabs that escalate into off-camera brawls, while their program swings from a memorial for shooting victims to pie-eating contests and weather reports. Between absurd “community demonstrations” on how to run from gunfire and a sudden lead on a killer, tragedy and spectacle blur into farce. Just before the credits roll, a cheerful ad for Quickie Pour N’ Bake™ reminds viewers how quickly violence dissolves into consumer convenience.
