...Expenses. One important reason that relatively few stations have adopted the format, despite its impressive success, is its equally impressive cost. Instead of a skeleton crew of disc jockeys and rip-and-read announcers, an all-news station typically has platoons of street reporters, anchor persons, helicopter-borne traffic spotters, weather analysts, consumer reporters, writers, editors, directors and producers.

And yet, as Albert says, none of them are truly "spontaneous" in the sense that structure is never left to chance. There is a well-conceived skeleton within nearly every show bit, which any kind of good theatrical or literary comedy naturally demands. Usually, this framework involves such plot structures as protagonist versus antagonist in a jealous conflict over lovers, mixed identities, transferred allegiances, tragic irony, and a variety of double plots.
