These are the general rules covering contests and promotions on KKUS.
Some contest and promotions have rules designed for those specific contests and promotions. Contests are generally open to anyone in the station listening/total service area (as defined by Arbitron). Occasionally, there may be restrictions on participation, which will be announced on the air. Employees of KKUS, participating sponsors, their affiliates and subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, area radio and television stations, their immediate families, and people living in the same household are not eligible to participate in KKUS contests and promotions. Unless otherwise specified, there is no purchase necessary to participate. All contests and promotions are subject to applicable federal, state, and local laws and are void where prohibited or restricted by law.
KKUS will designate judges for each contest or promotion. These judges will determine the winner(s) in all contests and promotions. All decisions made by the judges are final. By participating, contestants agree to be bound by these rules and the decisions of the judges.
Rules may be changed without notice.
When the winner(s) are determined by random drawing, odds of winning are dependent upon the total number of eligible entries received.
