Secret Sound Contest on Q99-7

R

RoddyFreeman

I just took a driving trip through the Mid-Atlantic, and stations in several markets were running the Secret Sound contest. And Q99-7 announced they will be starting it on Monday. It appears to be the hot contest right now so some company apparently is syndicating it.

Secret Sound is not a new idea, but it had been many years since I last heard it.

It's a stupid contest, if you have a bad signal on your radio you are out of luck.

We did all kinds of sounds.. one time i did the freezer door at the local grocery store openign and closing. took a little creativity to get it done and not get noticed.

We'd did the contest 3x a day i think.... wed run a sounder when it was time for the contest, intro the contest, and play the sound a few times... and we took a certain # caller... and every time we played it and an incorrect guess was made, the jackpot that started at $88.10 would go up 88.10 with every wrong guess.

I wanna say the most we ever gave away was like $1500
 
WSB and the Morning Merry Go Round from the 1970s called and asked for it back. By the way, the answer was a candle wick trimmer.
