Who do you mean by "they?" As far as I know Zenith never had a UHF station.

If you mean the fairly early UHF station WFLD in Chicago, it had a well-liked program consisting of industrial films (Films With a Mind of Their Own), hosted by the Tribune theater/movie critic Richard Christiansen, and it's possible it was shown there. The films I recall were generally more informative about manufacturing while touting the company along the way.
If you watch the Zenith film 'Fog Over Portland' on youtube they IIRC claim to be the first broadcasting UHF in Chicago, and I'm pretty sure they operated experimental UHF transmissions there in the 50's...whether that lasted into the era of color I do not know.
