Newscaster

The newscaster was an anchor for a news channel before the Great War.
==Background==
On October 23, 2077, he reported on the high number of reservations that the Vault-Tec Corporation were receiving for their Vault shelters, with the rising tensions between the United States and China boiling to the brink of war. He mentions current events of the ongoing conflict overseas, such as reporting the status of the 5th Infantry in Mambajao.
At the onset of the Great War, he gave an emergency broadcast and rolling coverage of the nuclear detonations occurring throughout the country to the American public. After informing the population that the states of New York and Pennsylvania had been hit, the broadcast either came to an end immediately after or temporarily cut out until the next round of information.

==Behind the scenes==
* While covering sports, the newscaster states "Something that is, unquestionably, inescapably, American. I am referring of course, to our great national pastime, baseball." This is a direct quote from a radio broadcast by President John Henry Eden in Fallout 3.
* It appears that the newscaster's TV broadcast was created using a sprite sheet, showing each frame of broadcast, played at a certain framerate. A similar effect was done for the Nukatron in the Nuka World add-on.
* The newscaster has a cut line in the game's files, in which he states "Our soldiers were right: War. War never changes." This would have been one of only a few mentions of the Fallout series' motto in dialogue outside of a game's opening or closing narration. However, in the final version of the game, the newscast cuts off after "my god," and the "war never changes" line is unused.
