Radio Contest: Living 55 Days in a Truck

Is it the economy or are they just nuts? According to the Associated Press, "Tommy Kempfer, 26, of Sun Prairie, and Lisa Thompson, 40, of Westfield, had been living in a truck, hoping to outlast the other to win a new $30,000 vehicle from WMAD-FM in Madison. After 55 days, the station became concerned that the contest would never end."

So, the station offered both this alternative: take $10,000 apiece toward purchasing a car or keep going and the runner-up got zip.

They took the compromise.

WMAD-FM is a Country station and you can listen online at www.mad.com
