Deeply in debt, the station’s owner announces plans to sell the station, ending its unique programming lineup including Leonard’s cooking show segments on how to properly cook roadkill and the “The Mildred Show’s” trivia segment, which highlights “important” facts like where Germans used to hide their lost teeth and how much an African ostrich egg weighs.
