THE KBEAR 101 SECRET SOUND

OFFICIAL RULES – 2023

 

1. Contest Description

“The KBear 101 Secret Sound” (the “Con­test”) starts Monday, April 3, 2023 and ends on Fri­day, April 28, 2023.  KCVI (the “Sta­tion”) may change the dates and/or terms of the Con­test with­out prior notice.  Any mate­r­ial changes will be broad­cast on the Sta­tion and/or posted on the Station’s web­site at www.kbear.fm.  The Con­test is open to all legal U.S. res­i­dents, 18 years of age or older, resid­ing in Idaho.  Employ­ees or agents of the Sta­tion, River­bend Com­mu­ni­ca­tions, or other entity or spon­sor asso­ci­ated with the Con­test, as well as mem­bers of the imme­di­ate fam­ily or mem­bers of the same house­hold of any such employee, agent or spon­sor, may not par­tic­i­pate.  Per­sons who have pre­vi­ously won a prize (cash, ser­vices, mer­chan­dise) from a con­test or sta­tion event from any of the River­bend Com­mu­ni­ca­tions (KLCE, KFTZ, KTHK, KCVI, and KNBL), val­ued $600 or more in the last 6 months are not eli­gi­ble to par­tic­i­pate. These restric­tions also apply to imme­di­ate house­hold mem­bers of con­test or prize win­ners.  A pur­chase will not improve a participant’s chance of win­ning and a pur­chase is not nec­es­sary to par­tic­i­pate in and/or win the Con­test.  The Con­test is void where pro­hib­ited by law.

2. How to Enter/Selection of Win­ner

From Monday, April 3, 2023 and ends on Fri­day, April 28, 2023, par­tic­i­pants have a minimum of two chances Monday through Friday to be caller #20 and correctly identify the “Secret Sound”.

Each weekday beginning Monday, April 3, 2023, and for the remain­der of the Con­test, at 7:15AM the KCVI morn­ing show “The Viktor Wilt Show” will announce what times that day the “Secret Sound” will be played. When the sound is played, caller #20 will have a chance to identify the sound. If the caller identifies the sound correctly they will win the current jackpot amount.  If the caller guesses incorrectly, an additional $25 will be added to the money currently in the prize pot unless the maximum allotted amount for the promotion has been reached. Once a correct answer is received for the current sound the prize pot goes back to $101.00 and a new secret sound will be utilized until it is either correctly identified or until the end of the contest. Incorrect guesses will be posted at kbear.fm to aid participants in determining the identity of the secret sound.

Entrants must give their per­mis­sion to be broad­cast in order to be offi­cially declared the win­ner.  In the event the entrant does not give their per­mis­sion to be broad­cast, that per­son will not be declared the win­ner, and the selec­tion process will be repeated imme­di­ately until a win­ner is determined.

The Sta­tion reserves the right to pre­empt or not broad­cast the Con­test on any given day due to pro­gram­ming com­mit­ments, tech­ni­cal dif­fi­cul­ties, and/or any rea­son the man­age­ment of KCVI-FM deter­mines to be rea­son­able and nec­es­sary.  All deci­sions of the judges and/or admin­is­tra­tors of the Con­test are final.

3. Prize

The Prize con­sists of a check for the amount of $101.00, or the amount in the “prize pot” at the time that the “Secret Sound” is correctly identified. The station has allotted $1,500.00 for The Contest, once that allotted prize amount has been reached the prize pot will stop growing. Prizes not awarded due to inel­i­gi­bil­ity, tech­ni­cal dif­fi­culty, pro­gram­ming com­mit­ments, and/or any rea­son the man­age­ment of KCVI deter­mines to be rea­son­able and nec­es­sary shall not be recy­cled.  All sales, prize and other taxes along with any other inci­den­tals asso­ci­ated with the prize are the sole respon­si­bil­ity of the prize win­ner.  Prize can­not be trans­ferred, assigned, or sub­sti­tuted. Sta­tion reserves the right to sub­sti­tute a prize of com­pa­ra­ble value should prize become unavail­able.  The Sta­tion assumes no respon­si­bil­ity or lia­bil­ity for dam­ages loss or injury result­ing from accep­tance or use of the prize. Each win­ner will be required to appear in per­son at the KCVI offices in Idaho Falls within 30 days of win­ning a prize and pro­duce iden­ti­fi­ca­tion sat­is­fac­tory to the Sta­tion (prefer­ably an Idaho driver’s license or iden­ti­fi­ca­tion card, with full name, cur­rent address, and date of birth and Social Secu­rity Card).  Wives, hus­bands, chil­dren, rel­a­tives, etc. will not be allowed to show ver­i­fi­ca­tion for the win­ner unless there are spe­cial cir­cum­stances.  All cases of spe­cial cir­cum­stances will be deter­mined by the man­age­ment of KCVI. Each win­ner will be required to com­plete an IRS Form W-9 and will receive an IRS Form 1099-Misc.  Each win­ner will be required to sign an affi­davit of eli­gi­bil­ity and release, includ­ing a pub­lic­ity release, as pre­pared by the Sta­tion prior to receiv­ing their prize.  The Sta­tion is not respon­si­ble for replac­ing tick­ets in the event of show can­cel­la­tions as a result of weather, pro­moter, team, or performer.
