Newscasters...Here's an appropriate word to describe their act!

We all know how some of our prominent newscasters just go on and on.  And that too at prime time. One was looking for the appropriate expression for such a phenomenon. Well, here it is: Pleonasm
Pleonasm is the use of more words than necessary to express a viewpoint or an idea.
Detailing on pleonasm curtails us from being verbose ourselves and, therefore, we just stop it here lest we get tagged as phoenastic ourselves!
