We’ll tell you the title of this entry after the commercial

Yeah, yeah — we all know that there is no more journalism and what used to be called “news” is now merely entertainment, but I’m still bugged by it. a little while ago, I heard this: “Coming up on WTOP, more information about the resignation of a top administration official.”
Would it have been so difficult to say “more information about the resignation of Tom Ridge”? I mean, wouldn’t people have stayed tuned in through the commercial anyway?
