Well, I can only speak for South Africa, but I should think it's pretty similar elsewhere. If you have satellite TV, apart from the TV channels, you can toggle to "audio" and there's a selection of MANY music channels (no back-announcing though) - you pick the category and they deliver. I'm just looking through the programme here - lists about 30, classified in different categories with sub- categories (eg under INSTRUMENTAL you get Beautiful Instrumentals / Contemporary Instrumentals / New Age).
