This study examined the effect of news teasers on viewer processing of TV news. Results showed that the presence of a news teaser enhanced viewer recall and comprehension of the news story teased. In addition, the effectiveness of different types of news teasers was explored: the presence of a program reference in a news teaser was found to be more effective in facilitating viewer comprehension of the news story, while presentation format of the news teaser did not make a difference.



As expected, the presence of a news teaser in the preceding program enhanced viewer recall and comprehension of the news story teased; the presence of a program reference in the news teaser demonstrated a significant effect on viewer comprehension. However, no effect was found for presentation format.
