It's actually potentially more interesting than that. AM/FM radio stations on licensed frequencies are required to be transmitting. Dead air has to be reported and justified to the FCC, or they can face fines. I wonder if that sort of thing applies to CDMA/GSM radio towers and repeaters.
I'm trying to ascertain that, but so far lost in a maze of twisty little links on the wireless.fcc.gov site, all alike.
I'd actually be surprised if that was the case though.
