Title: "Text That Tune"
Post by: beanboy89 on December 09, 2009, 02:40:29 PM: I just saw a commercial for a promotion TWC will be doing next week. From what I can tell, next week during YWT's 8am eastern hour, TWC will play a mystery song on the LOT8s, and if you can correctly identify the song, you can send a text message to TWC with the correct song title, and you will be entered to win $200.

Post by: Anistorm on December 09, 2009, 02:43:23 PM: that sounds pretty easy to play, but I am not pretty good at identifying songs (except the Ryan Farish ones :P)

But it's at 5 AM...so maybe not. :hmm:

Post by: Localonthe8s on December 09, 2009, 03:39:00 PM: I wish they could just leave the music. The WUWA playlist, and all these playlists/pop songs really sound bizarre on TWC. But it's a major network so I guess anything is taken for granted

So it would be perfect for those who live in the central time zone! :dance: :P

But I don't wake up until 7:30 anyways, so I won't be participating.

I wasn't awake during that time, and they are doing the contest, been seeing some tweets via twitter. I plan to be awake at 5 AM tomorrow to see what's up. I'll give it a try.

Post by: Anistorm on December 15, 2009, 04:34:09 PM: Those sound like easy songs. I can bet the first one was pretty easy to guess.

If they play a Ryan Farish song I can guarantee I will be texting :P :bleh:
