Indeed it is.  I don't particularly care whether the announcers sound bored
or not if the music's good and it usually is on this station.  If I need to
be told something about the music before I hear it, then a restrained style
is infinitely preferable to the breathless hectoring style of the kind
that's used in voiceovers for dogfood and used car commercials, and which
is the presenting norm on most non-CM stations.  In other words, ABC
Classic FM is pretty much as it should be.
