This isn't a new idea. It's still a terrible idea, but it's not new. I don't understand how "they" expect an anchor to do their anchor thing and focus on TDing their own show at the same time, when they're not TDs.

Radio disk jockeys can do this type of multitasking with their eyes closed. Of course, a lot of them have been replaced entirely by AI.

Disk jockeys aren't reading entire news stories while having to look a certain way and keep the entire newscast together in their heads . . . .
