From my experience in radio broadcasting, it was always EXTRO used to denote
the final or EXITing portion of a show or segment. It could be music or an
announcement or combination... whatever concluded out to dead air!
Often in a newscast consisting of a local news reader with some taped inserts,
it was necessary for the newsreader to give the control room engineer the EXTRO
words for the clip being played as a cue to roll a commercial or another part
of the show.
I was in private broadcasting and never had anything to do with the CBC
(Canadian Broadcorping Castration as one wag called it!) except for meeting the
CBC Dominion Network's "Assignmentmentmentment" each evening
which was carried by CFCF Montreal when I worked there.
