I remember even AM stations broadcasting Classical Music in the late
60's/early 70's in that fashion.

Back in the old days (the 60's) it was common for classical radio
listeners
to have a high dollar reel to reel tape recorder with their high dollar
McIntosh stereo rigs and tape off air classical broadcasts.  The 4-5
seconds
of dead air allowed a moment for the tapers to start their machines.

Every classical station I have ever heard has dead air between songs.
Why
do they need such huge gaps?  Do old folks need to clear the last song
outta
their head before the next one starts?  Would that be like some sort of
audio whiplash if one song started too quickly after the last?  That
would
drive me insane being the engineer for a classical station.  Do they
even
have a silence sensor?
