15. As a licensee of the FCC and a trustee of the public airwaves, JKO Media reserves the right to interrupt and/or discontinue any contest or promotion (and not award the offered prize) at the discretion of JKO Media management if world events, the national mood, or public safety so warrant.
16. JKO Media reserves the right to amend the rules to any contest at any time. The judge’s decision is always final.
17. For any contest requiring phone or text entry you must use only the number specified in the contest. The person operating the telephone at the radio station has the final decision as to who is the winning caller. When a text contest is conducted the contestants name and a “Key Word” or “Phrase” will required in the text to enter the contest.  Failure to do so may disqualify that entry.
18. JKO Media shall have no responsibility for contestant’s inability or failure to participate, failure to win or claim any prize based on malfunction or difficulties with telephone, cell phone, texting, email, or internet access, or any other circumstances in any contest beyond Station’s control.
19. For any contest involving on-line voting: If an entrant receives irregular votes, including but not limited to, votes generated by a robotic, programmed, script, macro, or other automated means, the station reserves the right to disqualify the entrant in its sole discretion and/or use another means to determine the winner(s), ex. – random selection or appointing a panel of judges.
20. The following are specifically related to E-contests and E-Mail Club promotions on the stations website:

            ▪ 1. All appropriate information in required fields must be filled out correctly and completely or you will be disqualified.

            ▪ 2. To win a prize you must reside within the listening broadcast area as defined at the exclusive discretion of JKO Media management.

            ▪ 3. Any problems with the internet or email are not JKO Media’s responsibility.

            ▪ 4. Contestants who register to participate on our website may be required to produce a printed copy of proof of registration before being allowed to participate in the contest.

            ▪ 5. Due to the nature of our programs that are heard on-line over the internet, contests may not be heard at all. 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 are delayed. This delay can last for as much as 30 seconds or more. This means that when a JKO Media contest is played that require 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.

21. There may be additional rules that may apply to specific contests. You should see those rules posted under their tab on this page.
