April O'Neil is a reporter at Channel 6. She seems to get all the dangerous assignments, which allows her to cover up the exploits of her friends the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In the first episode, Burne Thompson laments the loss of "his best reporter" when April goes missing, before Vernon Fenwick reminds him that April isn't his best reporter anyway.

Burne Thompson

Burne Thompson is the boss for Channel 6. Burne Thompson and the cameraman Vernon Fenwick often blame the turtles for crimes. Burne Thompson has a girlfriend named Tiffany.

Irma Langinstein

Irma Langinstein is a a young woman who works as a secretary at Channel 6. Irma Langinstein, who is Aprils best friend, is interested in men. Irma is also a friend to the turtles. Irma and April visited Europe during the Vacation in Europe episodes. Irma is one of the few humans in the series who accept the TMNT instead of seing them as evil just because they are different.

Vern Burke/Vernon Fenwick

Vernon Fenwick is a cameraman at Channel 6. Vernon Fenwick and Burne Thompson often blame the Turtles for crimes. Sometimes Vernon Fenwick tries to take April's place as a news reporter, but his cowardice in the face of almost everything is his undoing. In the first season he is called: "Vern Burke".

Aftermath

At the beginning of the Eighth season in the show, The Shredder placed an explosive device in Channel 6's basement and trapped April, Irma, Veron, and Burne in one of the offices. This is to force the Turtles to return Krang, who was previously captured by the turtles (although unknown to the Shredder, Krang was seized by Drakus a former friend and the original designer of the Technodrome who Krang sold out years ago). Although the Turtles were successful in rescuing Krang, however, Shredder still blew up the building. However, unknown to both groups, Splinter was able to free the hostages before the building did blow up.

Burne Thompson blamed the turtles for the destruction of the Channel 6 building and as a result the turtles became wanted outlaws. While most of the Channel 6 crew moved to a smaller building, April became a freelance reporter.
