I worked at a German TV station for a decade where the "Sendeplan" was often called an "Ablauf" - but the international English-speaking staff in the "englische Redaktion" (including people from the UK, Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) invariably called this the "rundown".

"Production staffers associate Sony clips with scripts inside their ENPS ***rundown***, which becomes an active video playlist when the newscast goes on air."

"EZ News automatically integrates written news stories into a production sequence and publishes ***rundown*** and teleprompter scripts for use in television"

From the personal resumé of a television director/producer:
"(Time) codes added to the newscast ***rundown*** are processed by the computer in real time to complete complex audio and video switching tasks. (...) Worked directly with producers and talent to create ***rundown***, compiled scripts, organized graphic elements in Chyron ImageStor, and supervised completion of pre-production."

Streamline Newsroom Operations
(...) For example, the first tool of the workday simplifies story assignment and automates creation of placeholder media IDs. Other tabbed tools enable creation and placement of CGs and stills. Another makes setting up and revising camera shots fast and easy, even under on-air pressure. Still other tools support insertion of moving backgrounds into the ***rundown*** and instant play of content directly from server to air.
