the list of all the elements –copy, voice-overs, reports, promos, stings, billboards, commercials—in the news program, from start to finish in order of appearance. A completed lineup includes tape numbers, running times and other information the control room needs to get the show to air properly. It is often the archival record of the show as well. Most newsrooms now use specialized software to produce their lineups (AVIDstar, i-news, ENPS, etc). Lineup software backtimes the show, adjusts the show script and timing for every new element or change, and builds templates for recurring elements and user preferences. However, it cannot compose an elegant sentence, and you can. Hah.
