This reminds of one time in Shul the Ruv was explaining about not specifically listening to music for enjoyment during these time periods.
A man asked, “Can I listen to talk radio if some of the commercials might have music?”
The Ruv almost choked but managed to answer respectfully.
Very often a production with sight & sound needs filler sound or it just doesn’t flow. A pointless narrator would take away from the film while silence would as well. So some music is played during this time to improve the production & better your experience. It’s not played for musical enjoyment.
There doesn’t need to be a heter because there’s no issur in the first place.
