I suspect you will find that these are not actually transcripts, but
rather, scripts.  That's what most of the stations that do it do, so
far as I've seen.  If the station does live captioning, they may put
up the caption text, which has the problem that the caption operator
may blow off large chunks of text when running too far behind the
sound.
