What is a newscast?

A newscast is a regularly scheduled radio or television program that presents news stories and other current events to a large audience. It is typically broadcast live and features news anchors who read from a teleprompter or script, as well as reporters who provide on-the-scene coverage. Newscasts may also include interviews with experts and guests, as well as weather forecasts and sports updates. Some newscasts are produced specifically for a local audience, while others are broadcast nationally or even internationally.
