Way Too Much Information

WTMI- Way Too Much Information is about the reporters of a television station, and their misadventures and personal lives. Sitruc Nayrb is the lead general assignment reporter for WTMI, and he is probably the most responsible of the reporters, which includes Vietnam War Vet Alan and Divorcee Soccer Mom Nancy (they co-host the morning news), and rounding out the staff are the closeted gay News Editor Jeffrey and the abusive and seductive twentysomething station owner Harper.
