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.

During the day I prefer quiet or a bit of country music. At night I can usually hear whatever my DH has on the TV. I watch little TV, only the national and local news, and can't imagine concentrating on a book while I sew, but kudos to those that can.

Being a cricket fanatic, during the season I listen to Test Match Special on the radio; at other times, I hook up the laptop to an larger flat screen monitor and put on YouTube playlists of quilting videos - especially if I am chain piecing or unpicking. As for music - anything from classical to zydeco. I love Ralph Vaughan Williams but then I get a bit teary which isn't a great idea when rotary cutting! My favourite audio book is Anna Massey reading Jane Austen's Persuasion. Also, streaming old time radio shows like CBS Radio Mystery Theater.
