#backgroundscores — Public Fediverse posts

Does anyone else find that news reporting broadcasts which include ‘background’ musical loops (just had to suffer one on the ABC about the Chinese Premier’s visit) are annoying, mask the clarity of the reporter’s voice (especially when the reporter’s accent is not ‘standard’ - no disrespect intended) and generally makes the listener strain to hear clearly? It doesn’t help that with old age my hearing is impaired.

I do not understand the need to include a musical score (usually banal loops) in news reels/reporting. #Givemebackmyabc #backgroundscores #musicals #abc
