How to Enter. You will automatically be entered into the Contest once you complete the following:
On-Air: Listen to the Station weekdays from 6:00am CT to 7:00pm CT during the Contest Period. When the Station plays the “cue-to-call” sounder, listeners should call the Station at 1-888-787-1995. The announced Caller number to the Station, as determined by the Station in its sole discretion, will win the Daily Qualifying Prize and be entered to win the grand prize. Time Delay Between Over-the-Air Analog Signal and Internet Broadcast: Due to the time delay that exists between the Station’s analog over-the-air signal and the Station’s online webcast, listeners who listen to the Station online may hear the cue to call later than listeners listening to the Station’s analog over-the-air signal. As a result, the odds of an online listener entering this Contest on-air may be diminished.
