Even when regular people speak on the phone, they aren't trained as radio announcers and would still use conversational English more similar to TV English than Radio.
Just a guess though.

Thank you, RealJames.
I got your point.
If one wants to listen to the more natural conversation, one would choose TV shows, right?
It is more real, more natural than radio broadcasts.
When I think about those handicapped people, I tend to think that radio broadcasts are more kind ("kinder" is correct?) to them. But on the contrary, they tend to prefer "natural things", right?
They don't need redundant explanation, instead, they can feel the atmosphere of the conversation.
