Saturday Night Live had a skit about that years ago.

If I remember correctly, the female anchor on the movie "Bruce Almighty" did exactly that.

LOL, you've just described the most annoying nonsense practiced by half the staff of Channels 13 and 2 in Houston.

I used to laugh at a reporter on one of the Denver channels named Laura Gallegos, because she pronounced it 'La-oo-da'.
