Telepromter

Another piece of equipment that the production crew uses during live broadcasts is the teleprompter.  This shows the script that the anchors and sportscasters need to look at during the show.  The weather meteorologists use it sometimes, but most of what they say on the air is improvised.  Anchors can control the teleprompter by stepping on a pedal at the bottom of the desk.  During packages, the people in the control need to run in while the story is going.  If they get lost, they can find their place on the computer next to them. The computer is used to getting the scripts together for each broadcast.  I would set it up on the right show for whoever is running the equipment. For whoever is behind the teleprompter, it's important for them to get things ready for the anchors.  I have learned that the teleprompter is a very delicate piece of equipment.  It takes some getting used to before you can keep up with the packages and the people in front of the camera.
