I have discovered that I have a penchant for listening to African music when I read.
Really! Try some Habib Koite, and see if you like the sound. Most people do. Try Din Din Wo
And to really change your life, try King Sunny Ade. Ja Funmi. Maybe it's the fact that I cannot understand the song that appeals to me, or maybe it's the complex beat. Whatever. I like it in the background.
FWIW, I absolutely do not like anything heard on most radios.
we are getting free showtime and epix from spectrum for now .

And don't forget Jeeves & Wooster which is also on Amazon and on AcornTV. It ran for three seasons.
I am thinking about signing up for just Amazon Video for the duration of this. After the 30 day trial it is $8.99/month compared to "full" Amazon Prime which is $12.99/mo or $119/year --- the "full Prime" has stuff that I simply don't need or use, so I don't see the sense in paying more for that.
I realize that you are only going to do this for a short period of time (hopefully), but as you noted, if one pays annually, Amazon Prime is $119, which works out to $10/month. So in effect, if one did this for an extended period of time, they'd be foregoing all of the other benefits of "full" Amazon Prime membership to save only $1/month.
And frankly, IMO, there's no way that Prime Video is worth $8.99/month. Hell, if it wasn't automatically included in my Prime membership, I wouldn't pay an extra 99¢ for it, much less $8.99. But if there are particular shows on it that you like, go for it.
We watched Safe on NetFlix, a mini-series created by Harlan Corben, about a Dad’s missing daughter and dead boyfriend. It took me to the last episode to narrow it down to whodunit. Lists of twists and side stories that are woven together with flashbacks. I liked it and liked having something to look forward to each night. It’s like a good book, I feel lost and disinclined to get into another after it’s done.
Jean, if you enjoyed Safe, try The Stranger on Netflix, also by Harlan Corben.
No cable tv, just an OTA so my selection is limited. However, the sub stations have older shows I find enjoyable. Or I watch some of the game shows.
Anything except the news! Yes, it's important to know the updates regarding the virus, but not 24/7.
