Thanks, Anna

No. No, no, no.
You are a regional news broadcaster, and your grovelling expression of gratitude will go unheard by the national news monarch. Yes, they’ve handed over to you. But no matter how grateful you sound, none of your viewers will believe that you’re mates with any of the national newsreaders. You might get the occasional stand-in spot on News 24, but you’re not going to be sharing a screen with George Alagiah in the near - or indeed distant - future. You will never bask in his reflected glory, have chummy little chats as the credits roll, or sit next to him in make-up and discuss your shared pot-holing predilection.
And we all know that the national newsreaders don’t sit in the studio listening to simultaneous thankings from 20 different regional news anchors, so what’s your game?
I mean, look at you;

Stop this nonsense.
