The Kars4Kids jingle will keep echoing across California airwaves and likely get stuck in plenty of heads, after an appeals court ruled Thursday that the ads can continue running while its legal fight plays out.
The decision temporarily allows the nonprofit’s commercials with the familiar “1-877-Kars4Kids” to stay on the air during the appeals process, pausing, but not overturning, a lower court ruling that had found the ads violated California’s false advertising and unfair competition laws.
