Probably both! Used mainly for news flashes. They were connected to the main news sources, UP etc.
Way back, in the early days of TV news, NBC had several rattling away in the background while the national news was reported. It was real dramatic to prove that the news was promptly reported.
IIRC, they were used till sometime in the 70's.
