By Gloria Nakiyimba

Capital Radio is conducting another draw to give away a brand new car under the Win a car promotion that has been going on since December last year. Capital Radio General Manager Peter Mungoma says under this promotion a loyal capital listener or client of one of the partners will win Mark Grand car this afternoon when a second draw is done.

Last week on Friday a draw was conducted in which a perceived winner was picked.

“But unfortunately we were unable to give away the car because of the due diligence we did, in which we found that the winner was associated with one of the partners and this violates the terms and condition” said Peter Mungoma.

He further explains that “when we do a promotion in this case where we want to reward loyal listeners and loyal customers of our partners, what terms of conditions mean is that if you are either an employee or you are affiliated or in o any way work with one of the partners it automatically disqualifies you from participating in the promotion. And therefore what we would call a genuine winner would be either a customer of one of our partners or a listener on Capital fm who participated in the promotion “.

The exciting promotion ran from the month of December through to the early part of January which Mungoma has termed very successful with lots of entries.

The second draw will be conducted during the drive show this Thursday with Tattu and Oulanya.

“We would like all our listeners and partners to tune in today at 4 o’clock during the Drive Show where we shall conduct the draw live ONAIR and will be witnessed by all our partners. And hopefully we should call the winner and should be able to drive off the car sometime this afternoon" said the station General Manager.

For the last 25 years, Capital Radio has been running promotions to reward loyal listeners and loyal customers of its partners.

For this particular win a car promotion, the station partnered with Hisense, Samsonite, KFC, Lazio Italian restaurant, Torino bar and restaurant, Comfort Homes, Water & Pumps International, The Athena Hotel, Nina Interiors Ltd, Kasenge Forest Resort, Universal M. Entp, and Victory tour and travel center.

According to Mungoma “ in this case, this promotion was about giving back to customers. So we would like customers who have participated to be the actual winners. And so what terms and conditions mean is that if you are in any where associated either as an employee or related to an employee, it disqualifies you from winning. Because the promotion is about rewarding loyal listeners and loyal customers of our partners”.
