Old broacasting term.  The intro is when the host or announcer
introduces the show.  The outtro is the same thing at the close
of the show.  I worked on a radio program in the 80s in which
the host and co-host would set up a bit of business at the 
start of the program (say, one of them got a speeding ticket).
They'd talk about it at a break in the middle of the show,
then the story would be resolved in a final conversation at
the end of the program.  I dubbed these elements the "Intro",
"Mid-Tro" and "Out-Tro" in the recording logs.  :-)
