Here in market 217 (Hanover-Lebanon-White River Jct.), one dealership dominates radio advertising to the point that the TOH ID at one of the two country stations is preceded by "From the Ford of Claremont studios ...," and remotes are held to hype seasonal sales both there and at its sister Chrysler/Dodge/Ram/Jeep place. Their ads, which run on both stations (separately owned) are screamers that probably sound just the same as they did in the '80s or earlier.My comment was referring to 'pre-pandemic' times. yes, in our small market, there were still the occasional Saturday morning remote.
Today? Nope, long gone - even in a market of this size.
Now, perhaps in a much smaller market, it may still exist. Only because the old-time radio station owner and the old-time car dealership general manager are brothers-in-law, or some such.
