entities and subsidiaries, promotional sponsors, prize providers, advertising agencies, other radio stations

members” refers to people who share the same residence at least three (3) months out of the year. The

entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and Station’s decisions, which are final
and binding in all matters related to the Contest. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all

device for this Contest.

615-737-9292. Caller nine (9) to the Station, as determined by the Station in its sole discretion,
will win a Prize (as defined below). 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

Commented [AH11]: Is this drawing date correct or
should it be March 21?
Commented [AC12]: i changed to 5:59 for entry on text
Commented [AH13]: Is there one drawing or two
drawings? If one drawing then this isn’t necessary because
the entry period has closed.
Commented [AH14]: It’s not during the contest period –
it’s two drawing dates.
Commented [AH15]: You’re drawing winners at
11:59pm? The entry deadline is 11:59pm so the drawing has
to occur after the entry deadline. So, update entry deadline
or the drawing time. If the drawing date is after 11:59pm,
that makes it past midnight, and thus, the dates of the
drawings would need to be changed. Also, it doesn’t say
anywhere above about there being two Instagram entry
periods.
Commented [AC16R15]: changed time 5:59
Commented [AH17]: See comment above in section 3 re:
pooling entries.
