The 6 O'clock News is a comedy focused around a Los Angeles Public Access Channel news crew that has a daily news broadcast at six o'clock every weekday. The Crew consists of two lead anchors; one, a has-been network anchorman, the other, an alcoholic mess of an anchorwoman. They are accompanied by a perverted, womanizing weatherman, a porn-addicted sportscaster, a desperate field reporter, an irreverent camera man, a sexually confused production assistant, and a drug lord for a director.
