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.
