“BREAKING NEWS, TONIGHT, AS WE COME ON THE AIR”.
Ever since Diane Sawyer hosted ABC World News Tonight then the word “tonight” has been randomly placed in the middle of sentences as a sort of verbal comma/subliminal branding/kind of tic.
They clearly think it adds some kind of gravitas to the broadcast, much as networks seem to think BREAKING NEWS gets viewers.
*And thanks for the correction, it is in fact "ON THE AIR"
