Contest Rules

KML Secret Sound

OFFICIAL CONTEST RULES

These rules apply to KML Secret Sound Contest (“Contest”) conducted by Beasley Media Group, LLC d/b/a WKML-FM (“Station”). In addition, the General Contest Rules posted at www.wkml.com apply to this Contest. If there is a conflict between the General Contest Rules and the Rules for this Contest, the Rules for this Contest shall control.

1. HOW TO ENTER

1. The Contest will begin on Thursday, March 30, 2023 and end on Friday, May 19, 2023, or when all four (4) Prizes have been awarded, whichever occurs first.

1. To participate in the Contest, listen to the Station weekdays beginning on Thursday, March 30, 2023 and ending on Friday, May 19, 2023 (ending date could be earlier) at approximately 7:00am Eastern Time (“ET”) for the airing of the “Secret Sound” and a clue about the day’s Secret Sound. The Secret Sound will air up to five (5) times a day at approximately 7:00am ET, 9:00am ET, 12:00pm ET, 2:00pm ET and 5:00pm ET. Each airing of the Secret Sound will serve as a cue to call. Additional clues may be given periodically throughout the day. When the Secret Sound is aired, the ninth (9^th) caller to the Station contest line at 1-910-323-9570 will be deemed a “Contestant” in the Contest, upon confirmation of eligibility, and will have the opportunity to win a Prize by correctly identifying the Secret Sound. The Station will be the sole judge in determining whether the Contestant correctly identified the Secret Sound. Each Contestant will only have one (1) opportunity to correctly identify the Secret Sound.  The Contestant’s guess must match exactly the Station’s pre-determined answer (Example: "Breath mints in a CD case" is not correct. The pre-determined correct answer is "Tic Tacs in a Taylor Swift CD case.").  When a Secret Sound is correctly identified, the next Secret Sound, if any, will begin at 7:00am ET on the next weekday. If a Secret Sound is not guessed correctly, no Prize will be awarded for that cue-to-call and the Station will continue to air that same Secret Sound for additional Contest cues to call until it is correctly identified, or until the Contest ends.

1. Station is not responsible for any failure of a caller to reach the Station contest line including but not limited to busy phone lines, misdirected calls, equipment breakdowns, or disconnections. Calls will only be accepted at the designated phone number. At the time of entrant’s call, entrant will be required to provide all information requested including entrant’s full name, complete address (including zip code), day and evening phone numbers and date of birth in order to be eligible to win. P.O. Boxes are not permitted. In the event that the selected caller is disconnected or is found to be ineligible, the next eligible caller who successfully makes it through on the call-in line and completes the call will have the opportunity to be a Contestant.  There is no limit to the number of times a listener may attempt to call in to win, but a listener may be a winner only once.

1. If at any time during the Contest all four (4) Prizes have been awarded, the Contest will immediately end at that time and no additional cues to call will air. If four (4) Prizes are not awarded at the end of the Contest on May 19, 2023, the Station reserves the right, but not the obligation, to continue to air cues to call and play the Contest until all four (4) Prizes have been awarded, at the sole discretion of the Station.

1. There will be up to a total of four (4) winners selected in the Contest.
