So, a few ground rules:
1. This is a personal blog and the Facebook page is also. That means, I'm not a business and anyone who spouts off rude comments and such, that comment WILL be deleted. Eradicated. EX-TERM-IN-ATEd... so to speak. So, keep it clean and kind and we'll all get along just fine.
2. I will post contests from FM stations in Nanaimo, Duncan and Victoria. I can't always listen to the stations, especially if I don't get reception, but also because I have a life and sometimes that interferes with winning stuff. IF I'm listening and I happen to have my phone near by, then I'll Facebook the information immediately, but as I'm still figuring out this Twitter stuff, don't expect instant information, at least right away.
3. I hope you win. I really really do! Let me know if you do win so I know if I'm helping or hindering.
4. I'm going to put up weekly posts at a minimum, daily if I can manage it. When in doubt, go to the official webpage of the radio station in question.
On with the stations and their info for the week of April 13, 2015.
