Re: [ARSCLIST] Fwd: New word? / technical term?



On the other hand, this..
Often in a newscast consisting of a local news reader with some taped inserts, it was necessary for the newsreader to give the control room engineer the EXTRO words for the clip being played as a cue to roll a commercial or another part of the show.

..is often called "out cue" or "out", written on a cue sheet or a tape box.

I'm not hip enough to this stuff to know what an "outro" is.

From my experience in radio broadcasting, it was always EXTRO used to denote the final or EXITing portion of a show or segment. It could be music or an announcement or combination... whatever concluded out to dead air!

I was in private broadcasting and never had anything to do with the CBC (Canadian Broadcorping Castration as one wag called it!) except for meeting the CBC Dominion Network's "Assignmentmentmentment" each evening
which was carried by CFCF Montreal when I worked there.
