Narrative:
During the takeoff roll; ATC was issuing a full route clearance to another airplane on another frequency. This clearance was being read throughout the entire takeoff roll; rotation and bringing the gear up. It made communicating between the first officer and I challenging and created an unsafe situation. Fwa tower has done this 3-4 times over the course of the month I have been flying out of fwa; it needs to stop. Had something gone wrong during the takeoff roll; it would have complicated the issue dramatically. Normal communications that occur during the takeoff roll are short and do not make communications in the cockpit challenging.ATC issuing a full route clearance on the tower frequency when there is no need to do that. There is a specific clearance frequency at this airport as well as a ground frequency that can be used. They should be required to use one of those frequencies. This could have been avoided by ATC not issuing a clearance on the tower frequency.
