contest per household. Anyone who wins six hundred ($600) or more
in cash, prizes, or combination of both is not eligible to win again for

How to Enter/Win
1. No purchase
is necessary to enter or win.
2. All entries become the property of the Station and will not be acknowledged
or returned. Entries received that are mutilated, tampered with, illegible,
or from ineligible entrants will be void. Entries that are determined
to be fraudulent will be void, and the person making such an entry barred
from further participation in that contest. Incomplete entries may be disqualified
in Station’s sole discretion.
3. One or more contests may be announced from time to time. Station
may run more than one contest simultaneously, but entries will only be
solicited for one contest at a time.
4. Depending on the contest, the Station will designate the required method
of entry. The following apply to the applicable entry method designated:
a. For call-in contests, entrants will be asked to call in on a designated
telephone line (the phone number will be given on the air) at a particular
time or times. At the time that calls are solicited, the criteria
for winning will be announced (e.g., first six callers, tenth caller, first
caller with the correct answer). Only those calls to the specific
phone number provided, at the time calls are solicited, shall be eligible
to win. Calls to the main Station phone number or any other phone number
are not acceptable. Winners will be selected in accordance with the criteria
announced when calls are solicited. If the Station receives less
than the requested number of calls (e.g., only 9 callers when the Station
is looking for the 10th caller to win), Station reserves the right to re-conduct
that contest at a later time or cancel that winning opportunity and not
award the associated prize. For call-in contests that require entrants
to answer questions or perform in some other manner, such contest will
be judged by Station personnel, and the decision of the judges will be
final as to all matters, including (i) the order in which calls were received
and (ii) whether any answer required to be given is correct or the “best”
or most desirable. By calling the Station’s call-in or request
line, each contestant gives permission and consents to Station’s recording
and/or broadcasting contestant’s name, voice, participation, and the substance
of the contestant’s telephone call. Contestant agrees that no additional
compensation will be paid for such usage. WARNING: Online listeners
to streamed broadcasts may experience a lag in transmissions due to buffering
limitations. Contest Participants should not rely on streamed broadcasts.
b. For mail-in contests, entries must be received at the announced address
by the announced deadline. Such entries will only be accepted by
first class United States mail and not by fax, hand delivery, overnight
or same day courier, unless expressly specified otherwise in contest rules
for the specific contest at issue. Only one entry is
permitted per envelope (multiple entries within the same envelope will
be disregarded). Mail-in entries must be legible and contain all information
required.
c. For entry box contests, entries must be deposited in the official entry
box by the announced deadline. Unless otherwise specified, only official
entry blanks are eligible (no mechanical reproductions will be accepted).
Official contest entry blanks are only available at the location of the
official entry box while supplies last.
d. For internet based entries, use of robotic, automatic, programmed or
similar entry modes is prohibited and will be void. In case
of an identity dispute, the registered user of the email account on the
date of entry will be the recognized user.
e. For internet based entries when entry requires membership in the Station’s
Club (the “Club”): Membership is free. The Club is an
internet club that will entitle members to, among other things, receive
information from Station and its clients, enter contests, participate in
surveys and enjoy many other opportunities. There is no cost to become
a member of the Club. To join the Club go to www.MIX95.com and click
on the link for the Club and provide all required information (incomplete
registrations may be invalidated in Station’s sole discretion). In
the event of a dispute regarding the identity of a member, the holder of
the e-mail account will be deemed the person who submitted the membership.
The holder of the e-mail account is the natural person who is assigned
the e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider,
or other organization that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses
for the second level domain associated with the e-mail address in question.
Limit one membership per person and one membership per e-mail address.
Members are required to provide truthful information when completing Club
membership registration form. If Station determines that any
registration form contains false or fraudulent information or is submitted
by a person other than the one named in the form or by an ineligible entrant,
such form will be disqualified and that member will be prohibited from
participating in the contest. If a Member cancels his/her membership
during any contest in which such Member is entered (or was automatically
entered), such Member may no longer be eligible to win a prize in such
contest, at Station’s sole discretion. Contest entry for Club
members may be by one of the following means: (i) Members are automatically
entered in contests from time to time; (ii) Members may be required to
complete a specific on-line entry blank for particular contests; (iii)
Redemption of Club points (if available), which have no cash value for
an opportunity to enter selected contests; or (iv) Other means of entry
as described on-line or on-air.
f. For contests involving Station’s obligation to notify qualifiers or
finalists or where there is a deadline for prize claims, if the Station
did not have actual contact (in person or telephonic) with the winner as
part of the contest, Station will only be required to leave one message
at the number provided in the entry form (if applicable). If no answer
or answering machine is reached, Station will not be obligated to attempt
any further contact. However, Station reserves the right, in its
sole discretion, to attempt to contact any qualifier/entrant/finalist/winner
more than once and shall not be required to attempt to contact all qualifiers/entrants/finalists/winners
an equal number of times.
g. For all text message based entries, use of robotic, automatic, programmed
or similar entry modes is prohibited and will be void. In case
of an identity dispute, the registered user of the text message account
on the date of entry will be the recognized user. Participants acknowledge
that messages are distributed via third party mobile network providers
and, therefore, Station cannot control certain factors relating to message
delivery. Participants acknowledge that, depending on the recipient’s
mobile provider service, it may not be possible to transmit the message
to the recipient successfully. Station does not claim or guarantee availability
or performance of this service, including liability for transmission delays
or message failures. Station does not charge a fee for this service.
It is each Participant’s responsibility to check with their individual
carrier, as other charges may apply. Station assumes no responsibility
for charges incurred for text-messaging. For texting contests, entrants
will be asked to text specific information (as announced on-air or on-line)
to a designated telephone line (the phone number will be given on the air
or available at the Station’s website) at a particular time or times.
At the time that texts are solicited, the criteria for winning will be
announced (e.g., first text message received with the correct answer).
Only those text messages to the specific phone number provided, at the
time texting is solicited, shall be eligible to win. Texting to the main
Station phone number or any other phone number are not acceptable. Winners
will be selected in accordance with the criteria announced when text messages
are solicited. If the Station receives less that the requested number
of text messages (e.g., only 9 text messages when the Station is looking
for the 10th text to win), Station reserves the right to re-conduct that
contest at a later time or cancel that winning opportunity and not award
the associated prize. For text contests that require entrants to
answer questions or perform in some other manner, such contest will be
judged by Station personnel, and the decision of the judges will be final
as to all matters, including (i) the order in which text messages were
received and (ii) whether any answer required to be given is correct or
the “best” or most desirable.
5. If a name is announced on-air as a potential winner who is required
to call-in to win, only the actual person who entered can win and must
be the person who calls in. Persons having the same name will be
disqualified if not the actual entrant.
