FWIW, Clark had actually been a news anchorman at WGBS in the comics during the 80's (pre-Crisis). It was not by choice. Morgan Edge, who owned both the Planet and WGBS, told him, in essence, that if he wanted to continue working, he would have to switch venues. After a while, he also did some work at the Planet, too. And yes, it definitely did complicate his getting away to wear the cape.
