The unnamed newscaster was an anchor for an unknown news channel before the Great War.
Background
On one day, 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. During 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. His ultimate fate is unknown.
