Albeit very much a BBC term. It's not used as much in other places.
Yep - VO (Voice Over), LVO (Live Voice Over), UL (UnderLay) and WP (WallPaper) are used as well as OOV across the industry.

Yep, OOV is 'Out of Vision' used in news production to describe the items that appear in vision only with the newsreader talking over them

Then there are CVR or Floats which are similar, but used diffrently - an OOV/etc is a news item, a float is used to illustrate an interview or 2-way.... it's a more casual OOV

Absolutely! It's always annoyed me a bit that people on the pres forums refer to announcers as CAs.
There's TONS of jargon, acronyms and abbreviations used in the television industry (just like in any industry I suppose). Outsiders often feel like they're listening to a foreign language or at least some peculiar English dialect when they listen to (for example) talkback from a studio production.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, some of it is exclusively BBC jargon. CSO for example (Colour Separation Overlay) is an entirely BBC term for the technique of using a green or blue cloth behind a presenter and keying in another video source onto the cloth. Everywhere else it's known as ChromaKey (usually in TV production) or Green Screen/Blue Screen (usually in Film production).
That said I have no idea what FTT might stand for.

OOVs are usually scripted, so (in theory) the live voice over bears some resemblance to the sequence of the pictures.
Floats (FLTs) are "floated" in over interviews (either in the studio or down-the-line) and are used to illustrate in a more general, less scripted manner.
There are also :
SOTs (Sound off tape) SOVTs (Sound off VT), SOFs (Sound off film) - which are short clips (say a single interview answer, or a clip from a film) which are not voiced over, and taken full soudn, but aren't a package.
Some areas also call these SYNC (though this is sloppy as OOV with natural effects is also "Sync" - i.e. synchronous) or CLIPs (which again can be confusing as many editing and playout systems use the word clip to mean any moving - or even still - pictures)
If they start as OOV and then go to full sound they are called UPSOT/UPSOVT/UPSOF - as you OOV the beginning and then "Up Sound"
If they start as SOT/SOVT/SOF and then are voiced over you usually describe the act of reducing the sound level for the voice over as a "Dip"
If you take a tight early out from a SOT/SOVT/SOF - or a normal package for that manner - you often term this "Potting out".
