Sunny 95 “Loyal Listener Club”
OFFICIAL RULES
NOTE: Due to the nature of our programs that are heard on-line over the internet, contests heard on the radio station’s internet audio stream are slightly delayed from the time the contests are heard on the broadcast station, and will be running behind the broadcast signal. Thus, all contests heard are delayed. This delay can last for as much as 30 seconds or more.
This means that when WSNY contests are played that require a specific caller to telephone the radio station (such as “Caller number 10 when you hear the sound effect”), listeners to the on-line audio stream may be at a disadvantage in participating over those listeners who hear the contests on-air.
1. METHODOLOGY: No purchase necessary to enter or win. This contest is subject to the limitations below. WSNY, Sunny 95 (94.7FM) will periodically conduct the “Loyal Listener Club” contest. The prize for the Sunny 95 “Loyal Listener Club” varies in value.
Listeners that have sent their email addresses to WSNY via the WSNY web site (http://www.Sunny 95.com), by the time of the contest Sunny 95 “Loyal Listener Club” email solicitation (the “cutoff time”) are eligible to participate in the contest. WSNY will transmit an email message to each email address in its database as of the cutoff time informing the email addressee of the identity of the cue to call, the time it will be played and the password sometime, if applicable. This email system is the only method WSNY will use to inform potential contestants of the identity of the Sunny 95 “Loyal Listener Club” contest, the hour in which it will be played and the password, if applicable.
At a determined date and time as indicated by the Sunny 95 “Loyal Listener Club” email, WSNY will air the cue to call in its entirety. Once the cue has begun, the WSNY announcer on duty will clear the phone lines, take the 9th caller, and ask for the password, if applicable. If the 9th caller gives the WSNY announcer on duty the correct WSNY password, if applicable, the caller will win the determined prize. If the 9th caller does not give the WSNY announcer on duty the correct password, or if the information provided has been falsified in any manner, the WSNY announcer on duty will continue to take callers until a caller has given the correct password to the announcer or an eligible winner has been determined.
The contest’s cue to call will not be announced or promoted on-air, and therefore there is a possibility that someone calling in for a request could be the 9th caller, and will not know that there is a contest going on. This scenario is the reason for the password or cue to call, which will ensure that the winner of the Sunny 95 “Loyal Listener Club” promotion received their contest information via the “designated” WSNY e-mail.
This contest is open to all residents of the WSNY total service area (as defined by Arbitron) at least 18 years of age, who hold a valid article of state identification.
