AP is for the "press" - not on-air

"AP's writing, from an on-air standpoint, is almost universally unreadable. This is true of the local reports as well as national."

That's because it's the Associated *Press* - not the Associated TV/Radio Broadcast News. It's written for newspapers.

If you're expecting air-ready copy from a wire service - that's unrealistic.
