I don't like the use of plus instead of and, which is fairly commonn in listings magazines such as Radio Times:

Tonight there is an interview with Sir XYZ, plus there's a chance to hear the Morons perform their new single.

Another thing that bugs me is when music is referred to as tracks or songs even when it's part of a symphony. I've just looked up a disc of Beethoven symphonies on Amazon and you can preview all songs. So where are the words?

There used to be a children's programme on Radio 3 where all the items were referred to as tracks even when there were live performers!
