How To Enter
To participate in the Contest, listen to the Station weekdays beginning on April 4, 2024 and ending on June 21, 2024 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, 8:00am ET, 12:00pm ET, 2:00pm ET and 4:00pm 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 (9th) caller to the Station contest line at 1-706-922-9999 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 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.
