    How sad this is! 80 mph doesn’t seem like an “accident “.
    May the deceased woman rest in piece.

    How come whenever there’s a cluster of radio stations involved, you always use the country station in the story?

      In this case it was the first logo that we were able to get in a usable size. I think you’ll find we try to use the most listened to station in a cluster when possible.
