KMIR News, in what can only be seen as a full blown effort to shift from a local TV news station to something more resembling a 1980s radio channel full of giveaways, remote broadcasts and hilarious pranks, has announced that they will now give you a gift card or full tank of gas in February because they are “doing good” – which is a thing that can be sponsored.  Coincidentally, February is also sweeps month.  Weird how that works.

In addition to the free schwag, KMIR is also asking you to take a video of yourself doing something good in The Coachella Valley for a chance to win a thousand dollars – perfect, because as the bible teaches:

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another – just be sure to only do nice things for thy neighbor if you can record it and post it online, as the local TV and a flooring company might give you some cash as part of a ratings stunt.

But enough about that, where is our free tank of gas, Ginger?
