I have choices in my studio. I have TV some of the time. I always promptly arrive in my studio by 8 am because Perry Mason comes on then. I have a Roku set up to catch some decent TV when I am not happy with what is showing on the local channels AND I use FM radio some of the time and catch up on contemporary music. My DH comes in and reads to me while I work sometimes. That way we share entire books. I have always been a multi-tasker who uses several channels in my brain at once to spark creativity.
