11. Specific types of contests:
On-the-air contests: For on-air giveaway contests, the
contest will begin as soon as the announcer announces on-air
the number of the caller necessary to win the contest. For example,
if the announcer states that the 105th caller will be the winner,
the contest will begin as soon as this announcement is made. When
an announcer tells listeners to call in based on a song, the
contest starts when the first note starts for the song and the
designated caller will be picked from there. Please note that for listeners listening to the Go Country 105 on-line stream at www.gocountry105.com, there is a delay between what is heard on-air and the broadcast heard through the web stream. All on-air contests are based on the timing of when a listener is directed to call in through an on-air transmission, and not when it is heard through the internet stream.
Calls for participants are taken in the order that
they are received. In the event that more than one voice
is heard on the telephone line, the winner will be the first
person to speak. If the judge(s) is not able to determine
which caller was first, a random drawing will be held to determine
the winner. All persons that call in for on-air giveaways
must be available by telephone at the number left on the Mt.
Wilson FM Broadcasters, Inc. contest line. If a participant is
selected by the announcer but does not answer the telephone,
they will be disqualified and the next numerical participant
will be designated the winner. If winners are announced
on-air and are told to call back within a certain amount of time
to claim a prize, they must call the announced Mt. Wilson FM
Broadcasters, Inc. contest line to claim the prize. If
the time lapses, the winner will be disqualified and another
participant will be selected to win the prize. Mt. Wilson
