Is it not time that all TV and radio weather forecasts were accompanied by background muzak and drumming?

 

So many TV programmes now include this superfluous noise, and it's creeping into radio programmes - a recent example being BBC Four's 'The Digital Human' where it sounded like radio interference from another channel. So why are weather forecasts exempt?

 

Any complaints about this irritating racket receive the standard response that it "enhances" viewers' and listeners' experience. It certainly doesn't do so for me.
