WJLT, a nonprofit named for the four presidents on Mount Rushmore, has bought adult standards radio stations WERT Van Wert, Ohio and KTUC Tucson. WERT will not change, and will remain commercial if it can, despite the ownership, but the nonprofit has taken over the music collection of WERT, which WERT can still use as well. KTUC will continue to stream and will ask for donations from listeners from all over, and except for special programs will play most of the songs that WERT does, plus most songs already in its collection that WERT doesn't play. Exceptions will be songs that are, in the opinion of the nonprofit's management, too loud (such as "Will You Still Love Me" by Chicago and "Happy Anniversary" by Little River Band), too contemporary (such as "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes and "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin), too country (such as "The Race Is On" by George Jones and "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash) or too silly (such as "Mr. Bass Man" by Johnny Cymbal and "Goodbye Cruel World" by James Darren), too old (anything from early in the big band era with poor sound quality will be added to KTUC's "Big Band Sunday Brunch") or the wrong version (such as "April in Paris" by Count Basie without the ending, "Cherry Pink" by Perez Prado without the trumpet going up an octave at the end, or "Summer Samba" by Walter Wanderley with a saxophone).
