Tuesday, 1 September 2015

Here's the update with tomorrow (Tuesday) in the mix. It's a little early because I'm going to Steve Earle tonight and I don't want to be updating this at midnight!
  Nanaimo

The Wolf is offering Rifflandia passes on the morning show. The daily prize is the passes, the grand prize on Friday is an upgrade to VIP passes (which one would hope would include accomodation). They have Nanaimo Buccaneers tix too. Every Thursday before a home game they'll give them away. I'll be back later with the schedule for you.

The Wave has tix to Akon on the 18th of September. Be the right caller when you hear your cue this week to be entered into the Grand Prize Draw. NEXT Tuesday they'll draw for a meet & greet and VIP seating. They have their Friday Morning Power Hour back. They are giving away a family pack of tix to the Buccaneers home games all season - again, giving them away on the Thursday before the game; schedule to follow. They're celebrating their 20th anniversary with a $1000 prize give away/day starting the 10th of September for 20 days. Prizes include shopping sprees at the Bay and Quality Foods, $1000 in spa services, night at a hotel, g/c to Woodgrove... it looks awesome! They'll take entries each day and draw a winner each afternoon starting NEXT Thursday.

Coast has their Coffee Break on Wednesday - enter on their page. There are no new trivia, polls or opinions up. Their raffles are:2 nights at Longhouse Bay Getaway (1000 points), Round of Golf at Cottonwood (500 points), 3 sets of 2 tix to Bollywood Masala Orchestra and Dancers of India (250 points).

Ocean has two new raffles in their VIP area for 1500 points each entry: Advanced Screening to Pawn Sacrifice (movie), and entry in the Bear Mountain 10K, half-marathon and relay. You can also win movie tix on Mel's show this week when you hear your chance to call in and win. You can enter their "Pay It Foward for Shanian Twain" contest where you nominate someone deserving to win on their site (link to follow later). You have unti the 13th to do so.

KiSS has added a trip to Mexico too! You need to guess who's talking - 10 people in a row - in order. They start on a Monda, and when you hear the cue to call, you guess. The first person to get all 10 correct wins. They'll play 5 times a day and if you're in their KiSS NATiON, you can enter the raffle for an exclusive play each afternoon (not showing yet). They also have your chance at Rifflandia passes on air. If you take a selfie with a piece of Rifflandia (poster, sign, etc), then tweet it to @kiss_1031 and @rifflandia and add #KiSSLandia, you enter to win the VIP Experience: VIP Superpasses for the weekend, 3 night accomodation and breakfast. This is ONLY running this week. At their raffle area, you can enter to win advance screeening tix for Pawn Sacrifice as well as entry into the Bear Mountain 10K, half-marathong and relay. All raffle chances are 1500 each entry.
The Q is adding Western Speedway Canada 200 tix to the Rock Door prize and a 5-pack of drop-in pases to Saanich Rec on the Polka Monster. You can get onto their Payroll by entering your information this week on their webpage (link to follow). The contest starts next week. The midday show is giving away $25 food vouchers for Greek Fest this week. They have headliner tix for Blues Bash on the midday show between 11 and 12 all week. Be caller 9. Their website says it's the morning show for those tix and the midday show for the Honeymoon Suite tix, but based on what I've heard so far today, I think they've swapped contest times.

Kool FM has some good stuff coming up this week. Their 5@5 prize is a $30 g/c to New York Fries. That's also what the prize is for their On Demand Lunch too. Kool Morning prize this week is a pair of tix for So You Think you Can Dance. On the 7th, they're introducing Beat the Bank. I'll talk more about that on the weekend update next week.

Ocean is starting the Song of the Day- it'll play between 6 and 9 am until October 2nd (except on September 7th it'll be between 10am and 4pm). If you hear it, be caller 9 to 250-385-0985 to get on the VIP list for a trip for 2 to Mexico! I guess they'll choose a winner every week. The songs are in the VIP area. If you aren't a VIP member, you can catch the SotD on ChekTV too along with the hour it'll play. Or... just follow my FB page and I'll post it for you there and here on this Blog. They're also running their No Repeat Workday Guarantee - 2 times this week they'll play a double of a song. Be caller 9 when you hear it and you'll instantly win $500. Generation Gap Trivia on Thursday and Detextive Tuesdays as usual, as well as the Office Interruption (enter on their page).  They have nothing else to spend your points on at this time.

KiSS still has their Campus Crash going on. Enter in person at:  


Or on campus the first week of school to win a Survival Pack from Boston Pizza, Sweet Delights, Hothouse Pizza and Maude Hunters: 

  • Camosun (Time & Location TBD)
  • Wednesday, September 9th – UVic Student Union Building (10am – 4pm)
  • Friday, September 11th, 2015 – UVic Vikes Soccer Game (6pm-8pm)

They don't have opinions or polls. Bridal Ex and Western Speedway raffles end at midnight tonight.
The Zone has Dylan vs The World Trivia and Petzone photo booth going on again. On the morning show, you can win passes to see Jesse Roper at the Saanich Fair - ride wristbands included for the day. The evening show gives you tix to Rifflandia & Breakout West - evening passes!

The Q has a Money Launderin' Machine contest which picks the numbers for that week's Lotto Max. They say their 9 listeners all get into a pool to win, so once they start talking about it on Friday morning, call in to be one of the 9 winners. Head to the Saanich Fair and go to their tent to enter to win AC/DC tix. The morning show has tix to the VI Blues Bash to see Ana Popvic and the KingmiXers on the 6th. The afternoon show has Saanich Fair tix to see Honeymoon Suite with ride wristbands. As always, there's the Polka Monster, Rock Door, Retro A-Go-Go and your dream golf partner for Monday's Men's Night drawn on Friday.

Weekend of 29 & 30 August, 2015

Ahhhh, the weekend at last. It's a drippy one, but we need the rain so much. I'm going to suck every last second out of this weekend. I hope you can do the same.

If you're feeling especially brave, you can stand in line from 10am til 4pm tomorrow and put your name in for the NHL exhibition game held at the Q Centre. You have to put in your name at the Panorama Rec Centre though. There's very few tickets available for people who live outside of the Saanich Peninsula (even though I voted for them like a billion times), so your odds of getting a ticket is pretty slim. If you're busy THIS weekend, you can try again next weekend.

Not much going on this weekend, contest-wise on the radio.

Kool FM has Beer Fest tix up for grabs if you complete their music survey and next week and the week after that seem to be chock full of fun contests. Which I'll talk about on Sunday night!

The Q has their 80's weekend on. Oh the '80's - my decade. Some tunes were awesome, some were horrible, all bring back memories.

You have til midnight on Sunday to enter the KiSS NATiON raffle for Bridal Ex passes.

And that's that. I'll be back Sunday night with a look at the week ahead, such as it is.

I have solved the music situation: my old-school ghetto blaster is getting the job done just fine at work. For another 2 weeks at least. Then my 'silence is golden' co-worker is back, so I will have to discover where the ear buds go in the machine before then.

I have solved the Rewards code situation: I go out to my car at 7:18 and listen for the code.

Ocean is giving away their last LG phone today, as is KiSS.

Kool finally updated their 5@5 prize (with one day left of it...) - food vouchers to Greek Fest.


The Q's Blues song of the day to listen for between 11 and 12 tomorrow may be a repeat of today's choice. Scott's in hospital so the crew has stepped in. Thursday was Graham and he chose a 'bluesy' song as opposed to a song with Blue in the title. He might go that way again today but we won't know til after 10. Once I know what's going to happen, I'll post it on the FB page. I'm sure Scott would appreciate all good, healing vibes sent his way.

Thursday, 27 August 2015

Rant ahead.  <rant on>

Every day, I turn to Juice at 4:18 to make sure I don't miss the Rewards Code of the day. At this time, I'm driving through Victoria, usually I'm on the highway near the hospital exit, and the reception is just fine. At 4:20, I'm heading past the Millstream exit and again, I can hear the station great. But the DJ doesn't say the code at 4:20. Usually there's a song playing. And then another one. And today, ANOTHER one. It was 4:30 when he said the code - 10 minutes late. Where was I? Going under the Leigh Rd overpass, where three radio stations are fighting the airwaves for dominance. This means I get scrambled garbage, and it continues until I'm past the park. This happens more often than not.

I usually Facebook Juice and ask for the code, and I usually get it. Except today, when I mentioned that each day the code is coming later and later and so I missed it yet again because he was 10 minutes late. I guess I was rude, but it was hard to text and drive, never mind putting in smiley face emoticons (for the record, I do voice-to-text when I'm driving) to soften the blow.

Seriously, it's not hard. If the announced timings for codes or artist of the day or a call-in for a contest is stated at a specific time, then SAY them at or near that time. NOT two minutes before. NOT 10 minutes after. At.That.Time. or, if you MUST put in some commercials, then 2 minutes after is acceptable. But 10 minutes? Really? There's no reason for a song to end at 4:19, and then another song ends at 4:26 and then ANOTHER song to end at 4:30 before you say the code. It's bad enough the code is preceded by who won yesterday, what they won, all the merchants you can get code at and where to go online to enter the code. 

I get why it's done, I honestly do. You want listeners to listen for longer. But I'm not about to pull over to the side of the road or drive around Langford waiting for good reception to hear the damn code, not even for the chance at 1000 points. The whole point of radio is that it's a convenient and portable source of music and information. At some point, it's going to become inconvenient for me to listen and then I'm going to have to give up. And I really don't want to.

So that radio... picked up ONE station because the tuner didn't work at all. Then nothing worked... and then the station came in again. Oh well, I used my phone and streamed the radio station all day. Tomorrow I'm going old school and bringing in my old ghetto blaster that I'm sure still works. Wish me luck.
 
Heard a few more contests at least today...

KiSS is giving away an LG phone today. Just be the right caller at 4pm to answer trivia and you win! They mentioned this on their FB page as it's not on the webpage. They have been randomly posting photos on their FB page and getting you to like or comment to enter for Bridal Exhibition tix. If I see them in time, I'll share them on OUR contests page, but you need to go to KiSS' FB page to enter. Get an extra 5000 points when you fill out their music survey. It's not on their webpage, it's on their FB page.

The Q is giving away Steve Earle tix on the Rock Door and Greek Fest food vouchers on the Polka Monster as extras. On the afternoon show, they have BTBO tickets to So You Think You Can Dance just given away randomly when they ask for a caller.

Tuesday, 25 August, 2015

I finally have a little radio to take to work tomorrow. The guy who doesn't like music (he does like music, just not at work competing with all the noise in the shop) is off for 3 weeks so we're going to have at least ONE station on and with luck, it'll be one I can stand listening to.
 
Let's see what tomorrow brings...

Nanaimo

The Wolf has 10 pairs of VI Raiders tix to give away all week during the day. 2 pairs/day.

Week of 24-30 August 2015

Last week of August!! I read somewhere that August was the Sunday of Summer. In this case, we get an extra 'hour' on the Sunday because Labour Day is late. I'll take that extra hour and run with it!

Here's what the stations have for us this week... so far...

Nanaimo

The Wolf is showing nothing... BUT I'm sure that'll change tomorrow. I'll add it to my update post tomorrow afternoon.

The Wave is drawing for their grand prize winner for the Alberni Outpost kayak three-pack tomorrow. If you've entered on line, or gotten in on the contest on air OR entered at the VIEx this weekend, listen up to see if you've won! They're still running their Retro Lunch and Power Hour contests too.

Coast has their Coffee Break on Wednesday - enter on their page. They have a Poll up about summer. Their raffles are: Blues Fest Tix (500 points), VI Raiders Tix (500 points), and Cottonwood Golf passes (500 points).

Juice hasn't contacted me about winning a trip, so I guess I didn't win. Sad Panda. They have no new polls, trivia or opinions up. Their raffles are: $1000 to Merritt Home Furniture (500 points), Stay & Eat at Oceanfront Suites in Cowichan Bay (500 points), Winter Tires from Tire Exchange (500 points), $1000 Central Vac system from Duncan Vacuum (500 points), $1500 Protection Pack from Duncan Hyundai (500 points).

Kool FM has an online contest for Women to 2 Warrior pack until the 31st. The Kool Mornings this week has two tix for Beat The Box Office to The Weeknd as their grand prize. 

Ocean is running their No Repeat Workday Guarantee - I'd guess 2 times this week they'll play a double of a song. They're drawing for an LG phone on Monday, Wednesday and Friday this week if you play their BC Trivia and win. You'll be entered into the draw all week if you know your stuff. Generation Gap Trivia on Thursday and Detextive Tuesdays as usual, as well as the Office Interruption (enter on their page). You have until the 30th to enter the VIP Raffle for passes to play the Viva Italia Golf Tournament at Victoria Golf Club (women or men's tournaments are available). Each entry is 1500 points. They have nothing else to spend your points on at this time.

KiSS still has their Campus Crash going on. Enter in person at:  

Or on campus the first week of school to win a Survival Pack from Boston Pizza, Sweet Delights, Hothouse Pizza and Maude Hunters: 

  • Camosun (Time & Location TBD)
  • Wednesday, September 9th – UVic Student Union Building (10am – 4pm)
  • Friday, September 11th, 2015 – UVic Vikes Soccer Game (6pm-8pm)

They have tix to the Bridal Exhibition on the morning show and extra chances at the VIP area raffle. 

The Zone has Dylan vs The World Trivia and Petzone photo booth going on again. On the Afternoon show, you can win tix to Rifflandia & Breakout West - 3 day passes! They also have Saanich Fair Midway Passes on their midday AND evening shows all week. 

The Q has a Money Launderin' Machine contest which picks the numbers for that week's Lotto Max. They say their 9 listeners all get into a pool to win, but I'm not sure if that means they take 9 calls or what because last week I couldn't listen to the radio. That is changing this week, so I'll have a better update as the week goes on. Their morning and afternoon shows are giving away Saanich Fair Midway Passes all week too when you hear the Q's Carny. Be the right caller to win. The midday show is giving away tix to the Vancouver Island Blues Bash to see The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer & the 24th Street Wailers on the 5th of September. As always, there's the Polka Monster, Rock Door, Retro A-Go-Go and your dream golf partner for Monday's Men's Night drawn on Friday.

Weekend update 22-23 August 2015

So it's the weekend of winning Weeknd. Not a typo.

On KiSS 103.1 and Ocean 98.5 this weekend, you can win tix to see Weeknd. On KiSS, Dez is giving them away (12-1600 Sat & Sun) and on Ocean, Marc has your tickets between 10am and 7pm  (that's a hella long shift!) both days.

Everybody else is just playing good music all weekend.

I'll do my best to get a blog out on Sunday night for you all.

Have a great weekend!

Friday, 21 August 2015

I can't believe it's Friday already! I saw some photos of the kids at camp today and it looks like they're having a wonderful time. I don't think they'll want to come home tomorrow. We're camping this weekend, but I'll do my best to get a schedule out for Monday on Sunday afternoon.
