Through the years, I have won many prizes from radio stations. Most of the time they were "Be the 10th caller" type. I've won record albums, CD's, a pizza, several t-shirts, dinners for two, books, etc.
The first prize I ever won was a "Gumball Rally" t-shirt. That was from WMMS. The best prize I ever won was a ticket to Promise Keepers and dinner for two. That was from WCRF. I also won 4 tickets to a performance of "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" That one was a guessing game. The game, on 95.5-The Fish, WFHM, was called "Guess the famous Clevelander." I guessed with the first clue-My name is Hector and I can cook up a storm. The answer was Chef Boyardee and before that I had no idea that he was from C-town.
I have also won from 1220/WGAR, WNCX, and 3WE. Curiously enough, I never won anything from WIXY/1260.
So...Have you ever won anything from the radio?

While leaving for our honeymoon, the WKDD van was at a gas station we stopped at. I answered a musical triva question (don't remember it tho) and won an album. Wasn't a popular album, but I was thrilled!!

I was on the east side and saw the 93.1/WZAK van in a vacant gas station parking lot. They were giving out cigarettes. Since I was a part time smoker then, I got me a pack. Betcha that don't happen nowadays.
I won a half-gallon of Ruggles Ice Cream from I think WHK-FM 98.1 (Might have still been WTOF then)

WIXY...I remember when I was about 10, I was along with my parents at some furniture store they liked shopping at when Skip Hornyak of WHBC was doing a remote. As a youngster, grew up listening to Skip. Great personality. Sounded like a friendly, folksy grandfather on the air. Anyway, he said that the first person who came to him and said some special word, he would give away this new book about the magic of vitamins or something. I was too buzzed about seeing a live radio remote that I didn't care about the book. I was thrilled to meet Skip.
If anyone reading this knows what Skip is up to these days, please respond. I thought he retired from radio awhile back.
Biz -
Skip retired from WHBC in 1999 and is still living in the Canton/Massillon area, I believe.
I won an ELVIS IN HAWAII album from WHLO back in the early 70's and I still have it!
Yekimi,
