**Robert Boseman** is a character in *Not For Broadcast*.

## Description

Robert Boseman, commonly known in-game by just his last name, is the boss and owner of both Channel One and the National Nightly News prior to them having undergone public ownership. He calls Alex Winston periodically during Broadcasts after finding out that they're working in the studio, covering for Dave who fled the country in the prologue.

## Personality

Boseman treats his employees differently. If he likes an employee, he will be more friendly towards them. If he dislikes an employee, he will be more blunt and harsh towards them. He is also very obedient to Advance's orders and opposes Disrupt's doings. In his line of work, Boseman shows high professionalism while showing his comedic and laid-back side at the same time. However, his professionalism and obedience will dissipate and he will be in a depressive state as the National Nightly News transforms into some sort of entertainment TV show, showing that even though he follows Advance's orders, he still cares for the news and how the country will end up.

## History

### Before The Game

Not much is known about Robert Boseman's life prior to the start of the game.

He was presumably born at some point prior to the 1940s, alongside an unnamed sister.

Later in his life, during or prior to the 1960s, Boseman married his wife, and the two had a daughter named Petunia. Similarly, his sister gave birth to Kenneth, Boseman's nephew.

During the 1960s, Boseman became affiliated with Channel One, serving as a producer. Possibly inspired by Peter's work during the network's 1954 telethon, Boseman sought out Peter Clement and offered him a show. Together, they came up with the concept for *Just the Job*, with Peter as the show's host. Just the Job's airing was met with much acclaim and fame, running for eleven series and winning several awards during its broadcast.

With help from the success of *Just the Job*, Boseman worked his way up into becoming the owner and boss of Channel One. Though temperamental, he appeared to steer the network well over the course of his tenure, and brought on several future talents to work for the station. Patrick Bannon, the son of Channel One celebrity Graham Bannon, was hired around 1975 to work with the National Nightly News as a reporter, possibly helped into the job with his father's influence. Boseman also hired Jeremy Donaldson, heavily supporting him as he became a trusted news anchor of the National Nightly News. Kenneth was additionally hired at Channel One for some mundane job, possibly due to being Boseman's nephew.

Subsequently, he instructs them to mix an old recorded broadcast to ensure that they can do the job to his satisfaction, noting that it shouldn't require them to deal with anything new, other than the odd tear and jump in the footage due to age. Boseman warns Alex to keep an eye on the censor, however, mentioning that there were stricter sensibilities back in the broadcast's original filming date, and before hanging up, reminds them to load up the adverts.
