segue
Explanation: I would really need the actual text, but ... you could use the word 'segue.' (To be honest, I am still not quite confident how to actually pronounce the word in speech though ..;)
-------------
'segue' - is a noun meaning a seamless transition or passage of music meant to follow a piece while leading into another without pause. It is also an intransitive verb meaning to seamlessly transition or do the same such in a musical passage.
It comes from the Mid-18th century when the italians first began using the verb "to follow" (seguire) as an idiom in their language.
Through music, it gained widespread use, and by the end of the 1800's, it had spread to musical theatre, and from there, other areas. It is most often found in forms of artistic expression, whether it be paintings, literature, film, or music.
------------
In broadcast, transition from one sound source to the next without interruption, from the Italian, meaning "there follows";

"In journalism
In journalism, a segue is a method of smoothly transitioning from one topic to another. A segue allows the host or writer to naturally proceed to another topic without jarring the audience. A good segue makes the subject change seem like a natural extension of the discussion.
Segues can also be performed on televisual journalism, such as on news reports or current affairs programs. The Segue has been a popular topic on the Australian satirical program The Chaser's War on Everything, in which they mention, often ridicule, and to some extent glorify the segues performed by Anna Coren on Today Tonight. Their segment is known as Anna Coren's Segue of the Week." (see ref. given above)
Example sentence(s):- 'The Segue has been a popular topic on the Australian satirical program The Chaser's War on Everything, in which they mention, often ridicule, and to some extent glorify the segues performed by Anna Coren on Today Tonight.'
