Student Radio -Ramair

I haven't actually listened to any student radio yet, so that needs rectifying.
I'm listening to Ramair, which is the student station forBradford. At the time of writing there is a show called non-stop hits, so there isn't any presenting to comment on but I can talk about the music and jingles.
The tracks are quite varied, a while ago they were playing 'We're in the House' which is dance, and now they are playing opera, which seems quite random. However the tagline for the show is; No yak, just great tunes for all tastes, so it definately does 'What is says on the tin'.
They don't fade songs into each other, which I think makes it sound less professional. What generally happens is :

Track Fades > Sting> Next Track.

On the non-stop hits show, this may be because there are no students around at these times to man the station and it's on some automated system. It just doesn't sound slick though, because quite often you hear a few seconds of dead air which is a big no-no. That is really what diffrentiates Student radio from Professional radio, because the students are still just learning how to work eveything.

The radio station is suitable for students, because there is a variety of music, however apart from the opera (which the more I listen; the more I think might be a mistake) it is all quite young.

Another anomally in the station is the news. I should imagine they shared the feed with their local station, as it is vastly unsuitable for students - it is slowpaced, and has nothing in it to do with students. And again it was suceeded by dead air (silence).
