Round 3 voting for WCLZ’s Vinyl Heaven is OPEN!

This time, how about we fill your home with 64 shrink-wrapped, essential albums of the 90s from Bull Moose, as curated by the WCLZ staff? It’s an instantly great record collection, or a valuable addition to your existing one.

Like last time, we’re asking you to vote in a championship-style bracket to determine what you, the WCLZ listener, deem to be THE essential record of all time. Each day that you vote is an entry to win the grand prize.

We’d be lying if we didn’t promise you music fans that some tough, tough decisions lie ahead. But won’t it be worth it if you bring home 64 slabs of essential 90s vinyl?

Vinyl Heaven on WCLZ is supported by our friends at Bull Moose!

Alanis Morissette – Jagged Little Pill vs. Phish – Farmhouse
Sinead O’Connor – I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got vs. Trainspotting – Original Soundtrack

On 6/18/26, one winner will be selected randomly from the cumulative contest entries to win a vinyl copy of the 64 Essential Records of the 90s as compiled by the WCLZ staff (valued at $2300). Once a winner is selected, they will be notified by phone and email with further instructions.

Upon signing release the release form & filling out a W-9 at the 98.9 WCLZ Studio (or by e-mail), 420 Western Avenue in South Portland, Maine, during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm), the winner will be allowed to pick up their prize.

Due to the nature of our programs that are heard on-line over the internet, contests may not be heard at all on 98.9 WCLZ. 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 98.9 WCLZ contests are played that require a specific caller to telephone the radio station (such as “Caller number 9 when you hear the sound effect”), listeners to the on-line audio stream may be at a disadvantage in participating over those listeners who hear the contests on-air.

All 98.9 WCLZ contests are open to all eligible Maine residents who live or work within 75 miles of our transmitter 18 or older and have not won anything on 98.9 WCLZ in the past 30 days or any prize valued at $600 or more in the past 6 months. Only one winner per household is permitted within 30 days after a household has a winner. Any prize awarded to an ineligible listener will be deemed null and void, and an alternate eligible winner may be named.

Employees of 98.9 WCLZ, Portland Media Group and its ultimate parent company, Saga Communications, Inc., their advertising agencies, affiliates, contest sponsors, employees and immediate families of each, and employees of all media of mass communication within a one hundred mile radius of the 98.9 WCLZ main studio are not eligible to win any contest. Immediate family includes the spouse, great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of the employee and his/her spouse. This also includes individuals for whom the employee is current legal guardian.

No purchase necessary. 98.9 WCLZ’s sole responsibility will be to award the prize. 98.9 WCLZ will have no further responsibility in connection with the prize if the prize winner, for any reason, cannot or decides not to use any of the prizes. Winners will be responsible for all federal and state taxes, and any fees and incidentals. Prizes are not transferrable or redeemable for cash.

Full contest rules available at 98.9 WCLZ studios located at 420 Western Avenue between the hours of 9am and 5pm; or by logging onto 989WCLZ.com.
