Streaming Thom Hartmann....that music drives me nuts.

I know some of it is commmercials, but most of the time today is that grating music. He is talking very little. I am using the stream for WMP from the White Rose site.

Why such intrusive pounding music for most of the show? Is it all commercials now?

Is there an available stream that doesn't have all that horrible music. I won't turn my XM radio on until Randi at 3:00. I refuse to listen to Schultz.

1. Hmm, I kind of like the music.

I frequently dance with my dog to it. Go figure.

It's what I used to listen to him on. Not sure if the music is from the commercials or the transitions; I kind of liked the transition music. :shrug:

3. My point is that it is nearly ALL music now.

It was not that way before. I like the music Hartmann plays himself briefly, but not the pounding repetitive stuff that is taking the place of talk.

4. Sorry, haven't tuned in to him for a while

Yeah, I know what people think about Schultz but since my local affiliate switched to put him into Franken's spot I usually tune in because I can listen without having to stream. I forget about Thom (although can't wait till the sun's up longer in the day--We're a daytimer station and they start Thom's show at 5pm cst. :) )

5. That's a dead link, but thanks, anyway.

I guess I am not supposed to listen to him. I must be the only one getting mostly loud irritating music, so that makes no sense.
