A related practice which drives me up the nearesr wall; WCRB, which is classical music on tranquilizer ("tracks to relax") often gives public service announcements of BSO concerts, omitting anything which might upset their sensitive listeners. So a concert featuring Beethoven and Bartok is announced as "The BSO plays Beethoven this Thursday". Bernard Chasan
