HERE ARE THE KNE EXTREME ELIMINATION OFFICIAL RULES:

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO PICK OUR NEXT BIG GIVEAWAY PRIZE!

FROM FEBRUARY 5TH THROUGH MARCH 2ND, VISIT WKNE DOT COM DAILY TO SEE THE LIST OF 41 POSSIBLE PRIZES. WHEN A PRIZE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED, IT WILL BE CROSSED OUT.

TO PLAY: EACH WEEKDAY MORNING, LISTEN FOR THE KEYWORD AT 6:25AM AND 9:25AM AND TEXT THAT WORD TO 77000 WITHIN 15 MINUTES TO BE ENTERED FOR A CHANCE TO PLAY.

AT 6:45 AM AND AGAIN AT 9:45AM, ONE TEXT ENTRY WILL BE CHOSEN AT RANDOM AND CALLED TO PLAY. IF THE CALLER DOES NOT ANSWER THEIR PHONE ON THE FIRST CALL, THE CHANCE TO PLAY AT THAT TIME IS LOST AND WE WILL TRY ANOTHER NUMBER. WHEN YOU ANSWER, YOU HAVE ONE CHANCE TO ELIMINATE A PRIZE FROM THE PRIZE LIST POSTED AT WKNE.COM/GAME. IF YOU SUCCESSFULLY ELIMINATE A PRIZE OFF THE BOARD, YOU BECOME A QUALIFIER TO WIN THE GRAND PRIZE. YOU MAY ONLY PLAY AND QUALIFY ONCE. ONE QUALIFIER PER HOUSEHOLD. IF YOU CHOOSE A PRIZE THAT WAS ALREADY ELIMINATED, YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED.

THERE WILL BE A TOTAL OF 40 QUALIFIERS. AT THE END OF THE CONTEST ON FRIDAY, MARCH 2ND, THE ONE PRIZE THAT REMAINS WILL BECOME THE GRAND PRIZE. ON MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 5TH DURING THE 8AM HOUR, ALL 40 NAMES WILL BE PUT INTO A BUCKET AND 1 NAME WILL BE DRAWN AT RANDOM AS THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER. GRAND PRIZE WILL BE VALUED BETWEEN $2000 AND $5000, BASED ON RETAIL VALUE. ONLY ONE GRAND PRIZE WILL BE AWARDED.

CONTESTS HEARD ON THE RADIO STATION’S INTERNET AUDIO STREAM MAY BE SLIGHTLY DELAYED FROM THE TIME THE CONTESTS ARE HEARD ON THE BROADCAST STATION, AND WILL BE RUNNING BEHIND THE BROADCAST SIGNAL. THUS, ALL CONTESTS HEARD ON THE INTERNET ARE DELAYED. THIS DELAY CAN LAST FOR AS MUCH AS 30 SECONDS OR MORE. THIS MEANS THAT WHEN WKNE CONTESTS ARE PLAYED THAT REQUIRE A TIME-FRAME OR A SPECIFIC CALLER TO TELEPHONE THE RADIO STATION (SUCH AS “CALLER NUMBER 9 WHEN YOU HEAR THE SOUND EFFECT”), LISTENERS TO THE ON-LINE AUDIO STREAM MAY BE AT A DISADVANTAGE IN PARTICIPATING OVER THOSE LISTENERS WHO HEAR THE CONTESTS ON-AIR.
