'''Arnie Pie''' is the red haired, bespectacled, and extremely obnoxious newsperson who drives a helicopter and reports with on-the-scene footage for fires, criminal escapes, and traffic in his news segment on [[Channel 6]] TV and radio, [[Arnie Pie in the Sky]]. Arnie has a rivalry with [[Kent Brockman]], often getting into hateful arguements with him on the air. It can be inferred Brockman is Arnie's superior, and he is merely jealous.
 
  
−
For example, when there was a fire in [[Springfield]], Brockman asks Arnie if his house is okay, to which Arnie replies, "You mean your ''castle'', kent?", and points to the mansion Brockman bought when he won the lottery. Kent then says,  "I bought at the right time.", to which Arnie says, "When's my right time, Kent? When's my time?" He is also heard yelling at Brockman in ''[[Some Enchanted Evening]]'' whilst giving the traffic report, but the speach heard by [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] is too fast for her (or the viewers) to make it out.

'''Arnold "Arnie" Pye''', once referred to as '''Bill Pye''', is a disgruntled, somewhat eccentric helicopter traffic reporter for Springfield's [[Channel 6|KBBL-TV]] (Channel 6). His segments are titled Arnie Pye With Arnie in the Sky.  
  
−
In another instance, Arnie Pie is chasing down criminal [[Homer Simpson]], who was running a daycare without a permit. When Homer crashes his getaway van with the children inside into a tree, Arnie starts commenting on Homer's stupid onfoot getaway strategies, when Brockman asks "Are the children okay?". Arnie replies, "I can't see through metal, Kent!" This is a joke on [[Wikipedia:Clark Kent|Clark Kent]], also known as Superman, who can see through metal.

== Biography ==
 +
=== Dislike of Brockman ===
 +
He has an apparent dislike of anchorman [[Kent Brockman]], with whom he often gets into arguments on the air, because Kent is a much bigger and luckier star. Their rivalry may have also started when Brockman described Arnie's job as "a mere traffic report".<ref>"[[Homer Alone]]"</ref>
  
−
He also once said, "I dont have a mirror that can see into people's souls, Kent, but if I did, yours would be black, Kent, black as the ace of spades!" Brockman usually shrugs off these comments with ease, but seems to respect Arnie to a degree, because he has not reported his rude statements or fired him.
+
=== Accident ===
 +
Pye's helicopter once crashed; he managed to say "Tell my wife I love—" before the live feed was lost. The incident was dismissed with a chuckle by the oblivious Brockman. However, he survived and has been seen in several episodes afterward.

When Kent was demoted to a Weatherman and eventually fired, Arnie briefly became the new head anchor. He spoke in a deeper, smoother voice, but returned to his normal register when he got excited near the end of the report.

Arnold "Arnie" Pye, once referred to as Bill Pye, is a disgruntled, somewhat eccentric helicopter traffic reporter for Springfield's KBBL-TV (Channel 6). His segments are titled Arnie Pye With Arnie in the Sky.

Biography[edit]

Dislike of Brockman[edit]

He has an apparent dislike of anchorman Kent Brockman, with whom he often gets into arguments on the air, because Kent is a much bigger and luckier star. Their rivalry may have also started when Brockman described Arnie's job as "a mere traffic report".[1]

Accident[edit]

Pye's helicopter once crashed; he managed to say "Tell my wife I love—" before the live feed was lost. The incident was dismissed with a chuckle by the oblivious Brockman. However, he survived and has been seen in several episodes afterward.

Replacing Brockman[edit]

Arnie Pye as an anchorman

When Kent was demoted to a Weatherman and eventually fired, Arnie briefly became the new head anchor. He spoke in a deeper, smoother voice, but returned to his normal register when he got excited near the end of the report. (A similar gag was used in a previous episode with Bumblebee Man, who took over Brockman's desk and spoke perfect English as he delivered the news, right up until the end.)[2]
