Fox is rolling out two "news shows": a sitcom starring Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton as fictional news anchors in Pittsburgh, and an unscripted show starring a former bikini model-turned-anchorwoman in Texas.

Unveiled at a Television Critics Association gathering here this week, both series are meant to deliver laughs -- and ratings -- but not necessarily headlines. That makes Grammer's job a whole lot easier.

"Based upon my knowledge of most television newscasting now, it has nothing do with the news anyway," Grammer said at a Sunday session. "I'm very happy to just be another performer pretending to be a performer," added the former "Frasier" star, who will be back on the air this fall in the series "Back to You."
