Huey is a TV reporter for a major Twin Cities TV station
(KSTP/ABC Affiliate). He's a popular reporter, covering a variety of topics, including
state government, consumer protection, and some investigative reporting. He is very
telegenic and understands the television medium very well. He understands politics and
other issues, and brings a sense of humor to otherwise dry subjects. He will pursue a
story until he feels he's found the truth about it. His contacts in many areas have
given him valuable material for his stories. Roxy Hilger (previous issue) is his
favorite camera operator. They have a camaraderie that he usually reserves for men.
Off camera, he is not as well liked. He is very charming, but can be arrogant, and
thinks of himself as a ladies man. Female station staff members have filed sexual
harassment complaints against Huey for which he has been disciplined. He is too
valuable to fire. Another station would snap him up quickly, regardless of his
off-camera reputation.
In his private life, he's a man's man. He works out at a health club almost daily. He
likes to hunt, play basketball, ski, camp, swim, skydive, and chase women, not
necessarily in that order.
