Clip on TV and Strip on TV

Hi

Do these make sense, especially the red parts? Any suggestions please?

  1. He called and told me that there was a clip running on TV that gyms and marriage halls had been ordered closed too across the province.
  2. He called and told me that there was a strip running on TV that gyms and marriage halls had been ordered closed too across the province.

Thanks,

Tom
