A compressor reduces the dynamic variation in a signal; if, as I do, you
have a tendency to raise your voice volume-wise to emphasize words or
syllables, applying compression to the station's output presents a more
consistent (though not flattened) volume level to the listener, which IMO is
a good thing. I suspect that good announcers don't need it (at least, not
as much), but that's only a hypothesis, as I have don't have any personal
experience in that regard <g>.
