23. Due to the nature of our programs that are heard on-line over the internet, contests heard on the radio station’s internet audio stream are 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 are delayed. This delay can last for as much as 30 seconds or more. This means that when station contests are played that require a specific caller to telephone the radio station (such as “Caller number 10 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.
24. For the station’s web contests, E-Mail Club promotions, and contests requiring or email or written entry, all appropriate information in required fields must be filled out or the entrant will be disqualified. At a minimum, entrants must include the name of the contest or the prize, the entrant’s name, address, phone, and date of birth. If the entrant lives outside of the Southern New Hampshire listening area but works within that area, the contestant should include company name, address and work phone number as well. Entries can be emailed to WZIDpromotions@wzid.com or mailed/delivered to Contests, 500 N. Commercial Street, Manchester, NH 03031.
25. By entering a contest, the listener agrees to be added to WZID’s data bases. If you wish to modify your registration information or stop receiving e-mail updates from the station, just send an email to WZIDpromotions@wzid.com stating "please modify my registration" or "please unsubscribe me" to. Listeners can opt out of text messaging by sending a message to 77000 containing the word “stop;” alternatively, listeners can visitWZID.com and opt out of text messaging. If a listener opts out and subsequently enters another contest, the listener will have to opt out again. Updated 5/09
