If you're a fan of the ZX Spectrum, you might know of Jonathon Cauldwell. Well, he's recently put this game on his website. It's a managerial game where you run the 6th terrestrial channel...
TV Executive Simulator V0.1 (released 24.09.2005)
Do you feel annoyed at the lack of retrogaming coverage on television and radio? Perhaps you're frustrated that your favourite comedy is always taken off-air to make way for tennis highlights? Reckon you could make a better job of running a television channel than ITV? Well, now's your chance!
This minigame, for the 16K Spectrum, gives you the chance to run a fictitious 6th terrestrial television channel, buying programmes on the open market or commissioning series of your own. It's just under 6K of code I knocked up in a 12 hour coding session, so don't expect anything amazing. However, if you've ever wanted to commission endless series of Micro Live and broadcast them back-to-back all day long this is your opportunity. Alternatively, you can just imagine Mary Whitehouse turning in her grave as you schedule some poor quality adult smut between children's programmes. It's up to you...

Direct link. Rename .txt file as TV6.Tap and use ZX Spectrum emulator such as SPIN or RealSpec to play the game
TV6.txt - rename TV6.tap
BTW, what with it being V0.1, it's not so great yet, but it's still fun for 5 mins
