The film revolves around three characters who work in television news. Jane Craig is a talented, neurotic producer whose life revolves around her work. Jane's best friend and frequent collaborator, Aaron Altman, is a gifted writer and reporter ambitious for on-camera exposure who is secretly in love with Jane. Tom Grunick, a local news anchorman who until recently was a sports anchorman, is likeable and telegenic, but lacks news experience and knows that he was only hired for his good looks and charm. He is attracted to Jane, but intimidated by her skills and intensity. The news industry is changing and the network is going through upheavals. With layoffs looming, the three characters must deal with their feelings for each other, their careers, and their values.
Hollywood at Home: Broadcast News, Saturday at 9 p.m. on PBS 6.
