They're called works or compositions but I'll give it to ya. :) Also, not all the listeners are OLD folks. Guess you've never heard my classical music shows. They're tight as any CHR or AC format. We do the same on WorldSpace (an XM service for the other side of the world). Classical music annoucing requires a sense of tempo and cadence. The programming (terrestrial) also incorporates dayparting. (we can break the rules more with satellite delivered programming..why? Because we can. That's about all I can say about that)

  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?
