[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many of the WAMU 88.5 reporters (the local ones, not the NPR ones) have what I consider to be very annoying quirks.

Both Matt McCleskey, the main morning anchor, and Elliott Francis, who sometimes subs for him, have trouble reading their scripts, like they're fed on a prompter but the lines aren't coming through fast enough.

Meymo Lyons sounds like she's drinking whiskey and smoking cigars.

Michael Pope ends every segment with "[b]I'M[/b] Michael Pope."  I always picture him popping a blood vessel in his eye when he says it.

Martin Di Caro has a very soap-opera-esque quality and over-enunciates his tag line:  "I'm Mar-Tin Di-Car-O."

Markette Smith over-enunciates to a tortuous degree.  She also sounds spitty.

And Armando Trull sounds like he's doing his best impression of a reporter.

I do like Kavitha Cardoza though!  Her voice is very soothing and lyrical.

I would think in a metro area this large, they'd be able to find reporters with fewer distracting tics.

I can't stand listening to Kavitha.  She whistles or squeaks her s's in a fingernails on a chalkboard way.[/quote]
