Giveaway/Contest Rules and Regulations
Entrants for contests or giveaways must be aged 18 or older. Events that are restricted to age 21 and over will be specified on air at the time of the contest. WKCR staff, and members of their households or immediate family, are not eligible. Previous winners and members of their households are ineligible to enter another giveaway/contest for 60 days after their winning call. The winner is the first call received by the in-studio WKCR phone (212-854-9920). If there are multiple winners, the winner is the first call received each round. Individuals may begin calling to win the giveaway/context once the music following the host's instruction to call begins. The giveaway/contest will end once the winning call(s) is/are received with no set deadline. Entry constitutes exempting the station of any legal liability related to the prize. WKCR is not responsible for technical difficulties experienced by listeners attempting to call. Likewise, WKCR is not responsible for injuries or losses during the performance. WKCR is not responsible for any cancellation or rescheduling of an event, and may not provide an alternative prize.
