There's a radio station in Ohio called The Summit and it's only been around for a few years but they are locally owned. They play new music, local stuff, old singles most people have never heard and more. On saturdays they turn it over to older people for polkas, spanish music etc. On sundays they play Americana and a Canadian music history show

It's been a real game changer for our radio scene. I've discovered a bunch of good songs thanks to them, here's a link to listen if anyone is interested

..........why are they asking people to donate their car? Do the staff just not have cars?

That's a good question maybe it's getaway cars for their crimes against iHeart Media lol

Seriously though I think they know mechanics that can sell the pieces and parts of cars. Very convenient for the original owner (they get a tax break) and makes some cash for the radio station
