 A blonde news presenter like this one has been used several times before like in [[1600: MarketWatch]], [[495: Secretary: Part 2]], [[932: CIA]] and [[618: Asteroid]]. And blonde woman with fairly long hair that is clearly neither Megan nor Ponytail has been seen often, like in [[752: Phobia]] and [[1645: Toasts]]. Would it be relevant to have either a new character called ''Blonde news reporter'', or more general ''Blondie'' for both those with news and the other. Or maybe instead one for news reporter as there are also several other news reporters that are not this blonde woman like [[957: Development]], [[756: Public Opinion]], [[1295: New Study]] and [[1391: Darkness]].
