Like someone else said... it's Pavlovian. It becomes a conditioned response.

In the rare instances when I'm listening to another radio station (like when 
I'm out of the area, etc.) dead air *immediately* tweaks my ears... I turn up 
the volume a little, and I'm like... "Hello...? Hellllloooo...."

I do almost the same thing here, while I'm slamming the "emergency music" 
cart into the slot, while a certain live program isn't there when it's supposed 
to be... grumble...
