Abstract

This research aims to examine the characteristics of co-hosts in the news talk television programs “Rueng Lao Chao Ni” and “Rueng Lao Sao A-thit,” as well as to explore their roles and functions. The findings indicate that co-hosts in news programs must possess the ability to synchronize and adapt effectively with the main host, particularly those with extensive experience. They are required to gather news and information efficiently, demonstrate a clear understanding of the content, and skillfully expand on cues provided by the main host.Moreover, co-hosts should use clear and accessible language, adjusting their delivery to suit the nature and context of the news. They are expected to engage promptly in discussions, respond effectively to questions, and exhibit natural body language. Quick thinking is also essential, enabling them to process information rapidly and construct coherent narratives.


The delineation of co-host responsibilities highlights their role in enriching content and maintaining coherence in news presentation. Furthermore, co-hosts act as key intermediaries, connecting with the audience and facilitating engagement between the news program and its viewers
