Welcome to the PIT List!

I'm a network field producer who also worked in local tv as a line producer and field producer. Over the years, I have had the great fortune to work with super people. Now I'd like to pass along what I know and rant a tad.

Pop Quiz

I recently heard a newscast that contained the phrase:
"... drenching downpour..."

Which one of these words can we jettison?
Have you ever been in a downpour that didn't leave you drenched? 

Ditto the phrase:
"... fatal drowning..."

Drowning by definition is fatal. I hear this one all the time.
