Music for Airports

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Cities like Los Angeles and Huntsville, Ala., have commissioned theme songs for their airport. In other terminals around the country, you can watch live music or listen to local artists. Today we look at how officials are using music at airports. Joining us are Harriet Baskas, a journalist who writes the "At the Airport" column for USA Today; Nancy Coplin, a music programmer for Austin-Bergstrom International airport; and Bart Davenport, a singer-songwriter who is performing at San Francisco International’s "You are Hear" series.
