PORTLAND, Ore., March 4 (UPI) -- Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicles Services said complaints from employees and customers led them to stop the Muzak at 13 offices in the state.
DMV spokesman David House said several locations in Portland, as well as offices in Medford and Beaverton, are canceling their $160-a-month subscriptions to the instrumental music service in favor of looping safety videos at a lower volume, The (Portland) Oregonian reported Thursday.
"People complain on many topics," House said, "but this is one we have some control over."
House said the canceled subscriptions amount to savings of about $1,175 per month, but much of that is expected to go toward other DMV offices that have requested Muzak subscriptions.
