Contest Rules

A complete copy of these Standard Contest Rules can be obtained at the offices of radio station My 104.3 WCZY (the “Station”) or online at my1043.net, owned and operated by Latitude Media, LLC or one of its subsidiary companies, 4895 East Wing Rd. Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858, during normal business hours Monday through Friday or by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the above address. These rules may be changed at any time at the discretion of the Station.  Individual contest rules may vary and may supercede or coincide with these rules.  The Station will conduct all contests, including on-air contests, email and online contests held on my1043.net, and contests conducted through the Station’s social networking accounts (e.g., Facebook, Twitter), substantially as described in these rules, and by participating each participant agrees as follows:

  • No purchase is necessary. Void where prohibited. All federal, state, and local regulations apply.
  • Unless otherwise specified, only legal U.S. residents who are 18 years of age (21 for any contest sponsored by a bar or alcoholic beverage manufacturer) or older with a valid Social Security number at the time of entry are eligible to participate in Station contests.
  • Unless otherwise specified, employees, agents and affiliates of Latitude Media, LLC and its subsidiaries, their immediate family members and household members, contest/promotion sponsors, advertising and promotional agencies who do business with Latitude Media LLC, and other radio/television stations serving the Station’s listening area ( as defined by Arbitron) are not eligible to participate or win Station contests. The term “immediate family members” includes spouses, parents and legal guardians, siblings, grandparents, children and legal wards, grandchildren, “in-laws” and cohabiting significant others.
  • An individual may win a Station contest only once per thirty (30) day period unless otherwise specifically stated. The Station reserves the right to limit the number of times an individual may enter a contest or drawing. The Station reserves the right to require contestants to be present at drawings in order to win their prize.
  • Potential contest winners will be selected by and at the Station in its sole discretion. If it is determined by the Station that a candidate is not eligible to receive a prize, another candidate may be selected for eligibility consultation and this process will continue on until such time as an eligible candidate is found. In the unlikely event that no candidates are found to meet the specifications, then the prize will go un-awarded. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by and at the sole discretion of the Station.
  • Time Delay Between Over-the-Air Analog Signal and Other Signal Delivery: Due to the time delay that exists between the Station’s analog over-the-air signal and the Station’s online webcast, listeners who listen to the Station online may hear Contest information or a cue to call later than listeners listening to the Station’s analog over-the-air signal. As a result, the odds of an online listener winning this Contest may be diminished.
  • Unless otherwise stated, the odds of winning a Station contest depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to the number of eligible entries received and the number of listeners participating at any given time.
  • All State, Local, Federal and or other taxes, duties, tariffs, title fees, licensing fees, or other fees for prizes awarded become the sole responsibility of the winner. All those who win a prize or prizes valued $600 or more in a given calendar year will be issued an IRS Form 1099 to report their winnings.
  • All prizes are awarded “as is.” Prizes are nontransferable and cannot be exchanged, sold, or redeemed for cash or other prizes. No substitute prize will be awarded to a winner who declines to accept a prize, however, any prize may be substituted with a prize of equal or greater value at the discretion of Station.  The Station assumes no liability due to circumstances beyond our control; including but not limited to:  prize provider going out of business or being sold, cancellation of event, or out of stock, discontinued items.  Winner is liable for any taxes, tips or other miscellaneous charges associated with the prize.
  • All prizes involving reservations such as airfare, lodging, shows or side attractions, must be made by winner, unless otherwise advised by radio station.
  • All entrants and winners agree that the Station shall have no liability for any injury, misfortune, or damage to either persons or property incurred by entering, participating in, winning, or losing any contest and/or by the use or non-use of any prize received in connection with this contest.
  • All prizes must be claimed in person at the Station at the address identified above during regular business hours, Monday-Friday 8:30am-5:00pm, and within thirty (30) days of winning, excluding holidays. After such time, ownership of said prize reverts back to the Station to be disposed of at its discretion. The winner then loses all claims and rights to said prize. Proper identification must be presented by any winner to claim prize. As a condition to receiving the prize, any potential winner may be required to complete and sign a Winner’s Affidavit and Release, releasing the Station from all liability in connection with winner’s participation in the contest and acceptance, use, or non-use of the prize.
  • All entry blanks, forms, devices, and materials gathered during the course of entry, as well as all information contained on or within, shall become the sole property of the Station to be used, disposed of or destroyed in its sole discretion.
