In addition, there is an Avon Three Day walk in May. They advertise 389 times a day. You can't get away from it.

I would think that most of those are PSAs - public service announcements, which are run
free by the station. Running free ads for non-profit-type orgs adds to their goodwill, which is weighed during their FCC license renewal hearings.
And they fill time.
If you complain about them, or their frequency, to the station, be sure to copy the FCC.
