ALISTAIR - The weathercat turned liberal commentator. Fiery and a discontented loner, and willing to tell you about it.

FERRIS - The janitor, lackey and self-described businessrat. Spends his days loving pop culture and loosening his mental screws.

KEVIN - The cameradog. A sensitive, nervous, put-upon type. But he likes his job and he's loyal to the core.

LORNA - The owner of the station -- and the pets. Fixed on keeping the business running and keeping herself sane.

RENATA - The co-anchor. It's not easy to be ambitious, determined and no-nonsense in a nonsense-filled job.

ROCHELLE - The field reporter. Has an interesting past, and is overly enamored of danger, though sometimes danger just finds her.

SAM - The sportscaster. Macho, rugged and right-wing. Dislikes anything he considers "femmy", like European sports.

WOLFRAM - The OTHER co-anchor. Vain and skittish. Image is everything; only it's a shame he doesn't have one. He and Rochelle are an item.




DIRK - Snoogems. The anchor of KRVL, the more successful station whose entire existence seems to be spent denigrating KPET.

HAL - O'Peridol, Owner of Sunflower Chemicals. His love for Renata will forever be unrequited.

DELLA - Kevin's assistant at KPET. Also his girlfriend. Super-flirtatious and playful, almost to a fault.

RANDY - Della's cousin, and Sam's girlfriend. A coldly devious and manipulative minx with no scruples.

NIGEL - Alistair's "friend." Shy and full of hero-worship. Oblivious to Alistair's loner tendencies.
