Pepper Dennis
Pepper Dennis is a reporter hoping to move into the anchor chair. She may or may not have helped her career ambitions by having a one-night stand with the guy who turns out to be her new boss.

Pepper is close to breaking a celebrity-murder-trial story when she is forced to take a vacation by the new station manager. Already upset at losing the story, she is further startled to learn the boss wants to change to a “news-a-tainment” format instead of the hard-hitting journalism she practices.
