Keep the tone light and conversational



Script

“Tonight here on XYZ TV Catherine is appalled by Jake’s behaviour in our soap opera LIES AND DECEIT at 8:00.

“And it’s followed at 8:30 by the latest national and international NEWS with Patrick Davis.

“Then at 9:00 our big movie is THE RAT PACK, the infamous story of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Junior and Dean Martin.

“That’s Friday night here on XYZ.”
