Cold open: The biggest trade of the season just landed — and it flips the entire playoff picture on its head.

Beats to hit:

  • Who actually moved, and the cap-space math that made it legal
  • What it does to the contenders out West
  • The one number nobody’s talking about yet

Archive

End the Show. The Episode stays put.

When you wrap, the episode is archived and searchable forever. And every segment gets archived with the show so it's always available. That's the whole loop.

01
Write Segments

Write stories, ideas, sponsor adds and interviews into one reusable library.

02
Build the Episode

Drop segments into a rundown. The episode assembles as you go.

03
Run live

Go to air with the timer, the prompter, and the whole crew in sync.

04
Archive & reuse

Wrap, archive the episode, and the segments get archived.

Everything in one place

Built for the people who run the show.

The tools you can use for everyone.

News & research included

Use the AI-supported Research page to get headlines and sources. Get AI-generated summaries and import straight into a segment with the link and summary attached.

Real-time collaboration

You can have up to 25 people writing and creating segments to fill the library. You can assign producers to episodes and they build them as they update on your screen.

Teleprompter

A clean view of your script or talking points, either on your screen or in a teleprompter. Adjust font and auto-scroll speed, and pass with a touch of the mouse.

Live timing

A countdown for the current segment and a running total against your target, so you know the second you're going long.

Reusable templates

Save a rundown as a template and spin it up for next week's episode. Recurring beats stay put and fully editable.

Multi-show

Have a sports show and a fitness show? Run them both from a single account, each with its own library — or share segments across all your shows when it makes sense.

FAQ

Questions producers should ask.

Q.Does it work for podcasts?

Yes. If your show has segments and a running order, ShowScripter fits, recorded or live. Perfect to keep everyone on the same page before, during and after the show.

Q.Does this work for recorded shows?

Absolutely. The rundown, segment timers and teleprompter work exactly the same whether you're live to air or rolling tape. Plenty of teams use it to stay on schedule during a record, then archive the episode the moment they wrap.

Q.Can my team collaborate live?

Producers can build and reorder the rundown together in real time and see who's on. During the show, whoever's driving advances segments and the whole crew's screens follow.

Q.Is there a teleprompter?

Yes, there is a built-in teleprompter included. Open it on a second monitor or an iPad and it follows the live show. Adjust auto-scroll speed and font size, mirror it for a beamsplitter rig, and hide the controls for a clean talent view.

Q.Can I reuse segments across episodes?

Yes, that's one of the best parts. A segment lives in your library, not inside one episode. Send it into as many shows as you like and templates stay in the library permanently.

Q.Free trial or money-back?

Every plan comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If it's not for you, tell us inside two weeks and we'll refund you. Cancel anytime, no hoops.

Q.Can I import my existing rundowns?

You can rebuild a show fast by dropping each segment into the library and saving the running order as a template — once it's in, every future episode starts from it. Bulk import help is on the roadmap.

Q.Can I print my episodes and segments?

Yes. Any episode rundown or individual segment can be printed or saved as a PDF — handy for paper backups in the control room, sharing scripts with a guest, or handing talent a hard copy before air.

Plan your show. Run it LIVE. Archive.
