Mix 107.9/WVMX
General Contest
Official Contest 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 WVMX 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. On select days, WVMX may conduct on-air contesting and award prizes to WVMX listeners. Individual prize packages vary in quantity and value when awarded.
2. How to win: Listeners will call the WVMX request lines at (614) 542-1079, by being the designated caller when given a cue to call. Means of entry may vary depending on contest. WVMX-FM reserves the right to postpone or extend the contest dates.
3. WVMX-FM cannot be responsible for a person’s inability to complete the required entry whether due to equipment malfunction or telephone difficulties. Nor can WVMX-FM be held responsible for a winner’s inability in getting to the WVMX studios to claim prizes or failing to provide sufficient identification. Odds of winning cannot be calculated at this time but are determined by the number of telephone calls at the time of contesting.
4. Who’s Eligible: Contests are open to any resident of Columbus and the surrounding listening area over the age of 18, except employees, their families, officers, directors and stockholders of Franklin Communications, employees of any radio station in the Columbus, OH DMA as defined by Arbitron, and the contest sponsors. WVMX-FM reserves the right to disqualify any winner if the contest rules have been violated. Contest void where prohibited.
5. Winner’s Release: Prize winner must present identification and sign a release a) permitting reasonable use of name, voice, likeness, and biographical information and b) releasing Franklin Communications, any of the participating sponsor, their officers, directors, stockholders and employees from any and all claims, liabilities and damages arising directly or indirectly out of award or use of the grand prize. In accordance with IRS regulations, any winner receiving prize(s) valued at $600 or more in a given calendar year will be furnished a copy of IRS Form 1099 (miscellaneous income). The winner agrees to waive any claim of royalty or right of remuneration for any such promotional use and agree not to appear on or on behalf of, any other radio or television station for a period of one (1) year after acceptance of prize.

Winners are required to present a valid article of identification as described above at this time. All identification submitted to verify a winner is subject to acceptance by WVMX-FM in its sole discretion. Identification which is counterfeit, illegible, tampered with or otherwise altered will not be accepted. All prizes are to be claimed within two weeks of date of issue.

Prizes are non-transferable and non-assignable. Winners will be obligated to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and provide their social security/tax identification number before receiving the prizes. Failure to comply with any requirement of these terms and conditions will result in the winning entrant being deemed ineligible for award. All prize winners are responsible for any federal, state and local taxes as well as any additional expenses incurred with use of the prize.
