WMIT OFFICIAL CONTEST RULES
(Updated 7/31/07)

1. Contests can and will be played on air at random times during the WMIT broadcast day.  The mechanics of the contests, if any, (i.e. providing the correct answer to a particular question, etc.) will be explained by the announcer at the start of the contest.  The announcer will then relay the criteria of selecting the contestant (i.e., nth caller, first caller with the correct answer, drawing of faxed responses, etc.).  Odds of winning are based on number of participants.  For contests requiring a specific answer/information, odds are based on the number of participants participating who possess the correct answer.
   
   
2. All contests, including but not limited to telephone call-ins, on 106.9 the Light are designed for participants who listen to the traditional FM radio broadcast.  Due to technical limitations with audio streaming that cause time-delays in the audio stream, there could be an adverse effect on an internet listeners’ chances of winning a contest.
   
   
3. The winner will be the contestant meeting the designated criteria as outlined in paragraph one.  Blue Ridge Broadcasting – WMIT’s determination of said winner is final.
   
   
4. Unless notified differently by the station, all non-cash prizes will be mailed to the winner’s address, as relayed to the announcer, within five working days upon winning.  WMIT is not responsible for delays and receipt of prizes caused by the United States mail system or other mail carrier.  All cash prizes, prizes with a value in excess of $599 and/or prizes requiring tax or any other legal paperwork, can be picked up at the Blue Ridge Broadcasting WMIT studios anytime beginning the next business day.  All local, state and federal taxes are the sole responsibility of the winner.  The winner forfeits all prizes not claimed within thirty days.  Winners may be required to sign a release.
