D.   Due to the nature of our programs that are heard on-line over the internet, contests may not be heard at all on WHPO. Contests heard on the radio station’s internet audio stream may be slightly delayed from the time the contests are heard on the broadcast station and will be running behind the broadcast signal. Thus, all contests heard on the internet are delayed. This delay can last for as much as 30 seconds or more. This means that when WHPO contests are played that require a specific caller to telephone the radio station (such as “Caller number 5 when you hear the song of the day”), listeners to the on-line audio stream may be at a disadvantage in participating over those listeners who hear the contests on-air.
