Pat Kiernan is a real-life anchor for popular New York TV station NY1. His appearance in No Way Home, reporting on the breaking story of Peter being Spider-Man provides a nice thread of continuity to not only the MCU Spider-Man films but the MCU itself.

In addition to breaking the Spider-Man news on massive screens in downtown New York, as seen at the end of Far From Home and the beginning of No Way Home, Kiernan has also been used in the MCU to report on:

- The Battle of New York in The Avengers

- The rise of 'The Mandarin' as a terrorist figure in Iron Man 3

- Events involving Daredevil, Kingpin, and The Punisher from the Netflix Marvel series'

- The Battle of London and death of Mysterio in Far From Home

- The apparent re-emergence of Ronin in Hawkeye

Making Kiernan the only character (until recent events) to be in both the MCU and Netflix shows, his appearance absolutely helps create the vision of a living, breathing world where the average person needs their daily news fix.
