Drop the Dead Donkey

The offices of Globelink News TV was the setting of this topical sitcom. The news station had just been acquired by a multi-millionaire media tycoon who orders that the company should start taking a sensationalist stance to the news (much like the real ITV and Fox News do).
Yuppie Gus Hedges (who speaks using nothing but media 'buzz words') is in charge of the transformation. The nervous news editor George Dent is too weak to stand up to Gus so it is left to his second in command Alex (a bright female) to try and stop Gus ruining the news.
Other staff included laddish womanizer Dave Charnley, ambitious moral-free field reporter Damien Day, and newsreaders Henry Davenport (old fashioned) and Sally Smedley (a brainless bimbo). (Source: sitcom.co.uk)
