Foley's character is an enthusiastic young man who has just moved
to New York City. He finds that his first assignment at his new
job at the station is to fire his predecessor. Thrown into the job
of news director, Foley must interpret the signals his eccentric
boss is sending out.
He also has to come to terms with Tierney's character a very attractive
longtime newswriter and loyal employee who thought that she was
in line for his job.
Looking to add variety into the mix the broadcaster will also introduce
the reality show The Casino from the Fox stable. The show
will air every Monday at 10 pm from 10 January with a repeat on
Tuesday at 11 am. It offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of one of
Vegas' most venerable gambling dens, the Golden Nugget Hotel &
Casino.
It follows the daily travails of Thomas Breitling and Timothy Poster,
two young entrepreneurs who cashed in on their Web startup and decided
to sink their millions into renovating the joint. The show was produced
by reality guru Mark Burnett.
The Casino's new owners take over the business and attempt to bring
back the glory of its "Rat Pack" heyday. Poster said,
"Our goal is to provide customers with the type of service
that they cannot find anywhere else in Las Vegas. We intend to give
our patrons the type of service that was so common in years past,
but has been slowly disappearing with the growth of the mega-resorts.
Vegas casinos used to be a fantasy land for gamblers and this is
what we intend to provide."
Each episode will focus on two or three guests of the Golden Nugget
as they try their luck at the tables and occasionally bump into
Breitling and Poster's celebrity investor pals. They including tennis
player Andre Agassi, the pop group Barenaked Ladies, pop star Jewel
and crooner Tony Bennett.
Viewers will also be introduced to colourful casino denizens like
Frank Sinatra wannabe Matt Dusk, card-counting regular "Big
Chuck," and officials from the Gaming Commission, who think
there's a link between one of Poster's pals and the Mafia.
