I could believe either one; Barry or Townsend.

I never knew as much as I know and love the 1987 cartoon that Vernon was a director. I thought he was a camera man wanting to be a reporter but his personality always got the best of him disabling that.

I remember a season 4 episode had the owner of Channel Six News 's son work as an intern. After that it is not mentioned. Burne while being the station manager almost acted as he was the owner. Its debatable but one could theorize that Burne bought the station from his boss sometime after that. It would makes sense consdiering he was uber ticked as Mike would put it after Shredder blew up Channel Six.
Or let's say Burne owns 49 % of the shares and that owner owns 51 %. This would let the owner be main-owner and refered to us owner, but Burne still had a big power.

Maybe. He could be the biggest share holder of the 50% that is available for stock while the unnamed owner could only own 50% that is not stock owned. Aside from the episode the son of the owner appeared I don't think the owner was ever mentioned,but I could be wrong. It would have been appropriate for him to be at least referenced in "Donatello's Nebuela" among other episodes like "Get Shredder".

I had an idea that Burne finally got enough from a lifetime of savings to buy the station from the owner who retired and the owner's son became a doctor instead of succeeded his father. It goes along with the idea that Burne lead Dregg's anti-Ninja Turtles campaign in season 9 and why April ultimately left Chanel Six. I choose not to elaborate any further in case I post a fan-fiction around that issue and a couple of others in a little while.

Also, I answered your question about Irma being turned into a bug or turtle.

I think Vernon asked April out and she turned him down and he became bitter and probably felt he needed to one up her all the time to prove him manhood.

While he did abandon her in "Turtle Tracks," he made up for it in "Shredder is Splintered." (He was willing to assist her even after Burne recinded April's order for a news crew.) His being revised as a rival for April is an interesting storytelling angle, and perhaps of neccessity, as Irma would become her main confidant in Channel 6. Still, what might have been if Season 1 Vernon's character stuck around vs. the effeminate jerkass we all know and somewhat love.

He had a good progression in his career, becoming a full anchor in the Red Sky seasons. Whereas, everyone else, save for Burne, had remained in their respective positions. (From what I remembered as a kid, so feel free to correct me.)

Coleman did Blodgett? Thank you, as trying to track the various side-voices is hard to do. I'm getting better with knowing Fraley, Paulsen and Clarke, but the others are harder. Took a long while for me to realize Gordon did Bebop.

Update (3/17): I viewed a few of the European Vacation episodes, last night, and apparently had forgotten that Irma served as cameraman. I'll go ahead and retract the "remained in their respective positions" statement. Apologies.
