What are preview notes?
A preview note (Preview Note) is a memo type of material that mainly summarizes the contents of a broadcast program and can be checked before or after the program is broadcast. These notes are an important tool to help production teams, hosts, and technical staff quickly grasp and prepare the main content of the broadcast. Preview notes are used for several purposes during production before and after the broadcast.
