The Conch from William Golding’s "Lord of the Flies" represented power and order over all else. Whoever held the Conch had the authority to speak and controlled the group for as long as they possessed the shell.
In this context, whoever holds The Conch (i.e. the TV remote) has the power to flip through channels and decide what everyone in the room will be watching on TV.

Pat had control of the conch and I was forced to watch reruns of COPS all night.
