The following are basic contest
rules applying to any and all contests aired on WOCN AM. Each contest may have
its own special qualifications and eligibility rules, in which case a separate
list of rules will be available for public inspection.
All WOCN AM contests are open to all listeners, unless a specific age is
required and specified by advertising, agency, or by WOCN AM.
All prizes, unless otherwise specified by WOCN AM must be picked up within
thirty (30) days from the date won, between regular business hours.

winners of time remaining on prizes to be picked up. It is the winners
responsibility to claim their prize within the time frame.
All prizes not claimed within the 30 day period will become the property of WOCN
AM who at their discretion, will award the prize to another listener, either in
the same contest, or at a later date and separate contest. An attempt will be
made to award all grand prizes, whether claimed by the original winner or not.
All prizes are non-transferable by the winner, unless otherwise authorized by
WOCN AM.

accumulate $600.00 or more in the total value of their prizes throughout the
calendar year.
By participating in the contest, the winner or winners agree to have their name,
voice, or likeness used in any advertising or broadcasting material relating to
aforementioned contest.
The winner must provide the
WOCN AM air talent with all information including name, address, phone number,
and age at the time they have won a prize. This information must be correct. Any

telephones including hang-ups and disconnections. In the event of an inaudible
or disconnected phone, the next caller will be taken and awarded the prize. Any
phone charges including cellular phones incurred in any WOCN AM contest is the
sole responsibility of the winner. Any dispute over a telephone line malfunction
becomes the decision of the WOCN AM management and any decision is final.

contest, the entire call will be disqualified, and another call will be taken.
