- Check headlines and text before publishing for any potential legal issues, such as libelous statements or breach of copyright
- Write and enable alerts for breaking news, network programming changes, and other significant sports updates
- Manage and schedule promotional graphics to appear in the Ticker at designated times throughout the day and week
