Newsradio Summary
Genres: Comedy
Rating:
The only thing harder to predict than tomorrow's news is what the folks at WNYX, an all-news radio outlet in New York City, might do next on the popular situation comedy NewsRadio. NewsRadio focuses on news director Dave Nelson (Dave_Foley), a recent arrival in New York from the Midwest who's not always certain how to deal with the whims of station owner Jimmy James (Stephen_Root). Dave also has to juggle a not-so-professional relationship with staff writer Lisa Miller (Maura_Tierney), massage the egos of on-air anchors Bill McNeal (Phil_Hartman) and Catherine Duke (Khandi_Alexander), and keep the many other eccentrics on the staff happy. NewsRadio debuted on NBC on March 21, 1995, and ran for five seasons. Khandi_Alexander left the cast seven episodes into the show's fourth season; her character, Catherine, quit WNYX to take a job in England, while Alexander stayed busy in both television and movies. In the final season, Jon_Lovitz joined the cast as news reader Max Lewis, a character added to the show after the tragic death of Phil_Hartman, who was shot by his wife while the series was on hiatus. The final new episode aired on May 4, 1999. Mark Deming, Rovi
