Every radio station has presenters using this term a lot, sometimes it's used three times in one sentence.
Even at the Covid-19 press conference it can be heard used multiples times in a row like this.
It's spreading like the virus.

I am sick to death of the appalling audio quality on both radio and TV, particularly mobile phones.

Turning up the volume does not help.
