I worked newscasts. They had either hard copy scripts as backup or they had the same thing on the computer monitor that is now in front of every newscaster. It wasn’t just to tell them what to say because otherwise they drew a blank. It was because in order for the show to run smoothly they have to say what they are expected to say within a timeframe they have to adhere to. TelePrompTers make it easier and less obvious but they aren’t there to make up for someone being an idiot.
