WXYZ: A typical Producer’s Newscast Rundown. This one is from July 27, 1990. A typical rundown was producer by using removable horizontal cardboard tabs positioned on metal sheets with groves on either side to hold the tabs in place. These tabs would be re-positioned as the newscast developed. Once copied and distributed to the team, the Producer would sometimes create notes since the newscast was constantly changing while the show was live on the air. Computers changed everything!
