After the most recent extermination, 666 News is covering a turf war raging between Sir Pentious and Cherri Bomb on the west side of Pentagram City and mentions that demons all over Hell are fighting to gain new territory. Afterward, Charlie goes on 666 News to introduce the Happy Hotel to the viewers and all of Hell, conveying her idea via song, however everyone present laughs at her idea and Katie informs them that their client, Angel Dust, is currently part of the ongoing turf war.

- In the Hazbin Hotel pilot, the news ticker at the bottom reads:
"Breaking News: A large scale turf war is underway in Pentagram city between Sir Pentious and Cherri Bomb. The surrounding areas are covered in debris, so please avoid downtown on your commute today. Traffic is "hella" backed up. Get it, "hell", but with an "a" at the end? That's a word younger people seem to enjoy using. I don't really like it though. I wrote it because it seemed like the natural kind of pun to make for this situation, but now that I see it in text, I feel like it was a mistake. A mistake I can't take back...like cheating on my wife. I'm so sorry Martha. I shouldn't have done it, but you did gain a lot of weight after the baby and I really needed some space. You know what? No, that was a good call. I banged the cleaning lady, and that was a pretty nice time. Even though she laughed at me when I told her I couldn't get off unless she licked my foot first. I don't see how that's a weird request. Maybe if I'd just gotten a hooker she would have been more agreeable. The point is my wife was a fucking bitch. One time we went to the zoo and I got really mad because I thought the orangutan was making fun of me. He kept doing that stupid duck lip face? The one where their lips get all puckered? Then it started screaming, and that really pissed me off. My wife told me it was just a monkey and to "calm down", s——." - In "Radio Killed the Video Star", the news ticker at the bottom reads:
"So the radio guy's back. I don't think you noticed. I didn't at first - I was too busy being a much more interesting and important person. But fuck it, news is slow today I guess. I'm totally not worried about this guy and neither should you be. I totally wrecked his shit last time he tried me. Thank——" - In "Western Energy", a news station called "Infernal News" is shown, revealing that there are other news stations in Hell than just 666 News.
