If it annoys you, don't listen.

I usually don't.

I bought an Echo Plus (with Alexa) for those hours, but the sound is
terrible, it seems.

And I started listening to CNN and CNN-International (both audio only)
but they give the same ads over and over all day long for months. And
there are hudreds of famous singers, but they give the same mini-bio for
20 of them over and over and over. So I've almost given up on that.

Tonight I listened to a couple hours of KALW San Francisco, *local*
public radio, so it had different stuff from NPR. It was good, but now
they're playing music. I found that music is hard to go to sleep to,
because theyr'e soft for a while and then loud.
