July 30, 2012 Here at WBKR, we LOVE giving away prizes. But, we've always wondered what it must be like to be on YOUR side of the contest. We constantly hear listeners say things like, "I never win anything" or "It's nearly impossible to get through on the phone" or "The phones ALWAYS busy!" So, Taunya the Intern and I decided to try a little experiment recently. We ran a contest during the morning show and asked for Caller #92. While I answered the phones to try and get a winner, Taunya got her cell phone and tried to win! And we had cameras rolling. So, just how difficult is it to get through?? WATCH! And you'll see both sides of the contest!! This is a FIRST-EVER behind-the-scenes glimpse into a real WBKR prize giveaway.

It's a great opportunity to open for huge names in country music and step on a stage in front of thousands to get your music heard! On Saturday, August 4th, WBKR will head to Diamond Lake's "Good Time" Theatre for our Battle finale event in which our eight finalists will compete for $500 and the right to open for Blake Shelton at this year's Big O Music Fest. Among those finalists, Marshall Dowdy of Marshall County, Kentucky. He came to our Battle audition at Towne Square Mall and, appropriately, rocked out Blake Shelton's "Ol Red." WATCH!
