Darius Rucker!

For the Darius Rucker KMLEgories on-air contest, listen to the station each weekday at approximately 8:30am (PT) starting on Thursday, July 16, 2026 and ending on Friday, July 17, 2026 for the cue to call. At the time of the cue to call, callers number eight (8) and nine (9) at 602-894-5653 (each, a “Contestant”) will be selected to compete in the game “KMLEgories” for the chance of one (1) of the Contestants to win a prize. The on-air announcer will begin the game by announcing a “KMLEgory”, a specific determined category made up of similar items, people, things, or words that may also include certain unique qualifying factors (e.g. “Types of sandwiches beginning with the letter K”; “State names that contain the letter O”; “Names of musicals that are one word”; “Movies in which Brad Pitt has appeared”, etc”). After the “KMLEgory” has been announced, each Contestant, starting with the caller number 8 Contestant, will get the chance in back and forth turns to give an answer within three (3) seconds of an item, person, thing, or word that fits within the announced “KMLEgory”. If a Contestant cannot give an answer within three (3) seconds or the Station determines a Contestant’s answer does not fit the KMLEgory and is incorrect, that Contestant will be immediately disqualified and the remaining Contestant, subject to verification of eligibility (a, “Winner”), will receive two (2) tickets to Darius Rucker with support from Old Crow Medicine Show and Austin Williams at Arizona Financial Theatre on July 23, 2026, valued at $112 and courtesy of Live Nation. The station will be the official timekeeper and sole determining judge as to whether a Contestant has given a correct answer that fits within the announced “KMLEgory”. This judgement cannot be appealed. There will be up to TWO (2) Winners in this contest. Disqualified Contestants are not entitled to any prize in this Contest.

Any verified Winner must complete and submit all required station paperwork within thirty (30) days of station sending them a Winner verification email. Failure to complete and submit required station paperwork within such deadline will be deemed as the Winner’s forfeiture of prize. Completed required paperwork submitted by a Winner outside of station business hours of Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) from 9:00am - 5:30pm (MT), will be considered officially received the following business day. For prizes involving an event, Winners must submit completed required paperwork to station within twenty-four (24) business hours of the event date in order for prize to be distributed prior to the start of the event.
