Radio contests turn 100!

Be the 9th caller and win a ride on the Wright Brothers Plane!!!!

Yep, you can thank the geniuses in Philadelphia on this day (2/23) back in 1910 for conducting the first ever RADIO CONTEST. Yeppers, I saw it on my calendar that one of the biggest pet peeves on the raydittio happened 100 years ago today.

I wonder what it was? Was it "Caller 9 gets key that just might start a brand new 1910 Stanley Steamer Model R." Or "Caller 9 gets tickets to the tickets to the Philadelphia Philly's game at Shibe park?" Who knows? You'd think that most radio stations would figure out that that after doing on-air radio contests for 100 years that most people aren't fans of them.

Oh, by the way - if you want to play some of JACK-fm's off-air radio contests, that's cool with us.

Later.
