"Thank You for Being a Part of My Program"

       Fareed Zakaria is an extremely bright oral communicator with a Sunday morning CNN world affairs program "Global Public Square."     

       Fareed is exceptional in his own commentary and in the pertinence yet tact of his interview questions.  Each segment is well-gauged for brevity to hold pictorial and verbal interest, inform, and conclude promptly with attention and appreciation still high.

       I mainly bring up Fareed's show because of how it ends.  Fareed says,  "Thank you for being a part of my program this week."   Not thank you for "listening" or "watching," which would leave the audience outside looking or listening in.  The phrasing perfectly sums up the tenor of the whole broadcast, an engaging with guests as with audience, who are conceived from the outset as included, and therefore thanked for participating afterwards!
