Why do newscasters always ... pause?
Why do field radio and TV newscasters invariably... pause before delivering
the last few words of their delivery? Was this originally some sort of signal
to the studio that they were done, similar to "over" in pilot communications?
Who started it? Why do they still do it? Can you tell it annoys me?
