Welcome to May on Bingo Radio and it’s celebration time once again this month as we mark five glorious years of Game Village! We have a special birthday show lined up for Tuesday 22^nd May (GV’s official birthday) with more details to be announced. Also, later in the month, our show schedule is changing so that we’ll be with you LIVE EVERY SATURDAY from May 12^th. Here’s how you can win during May at Bingo Radio:

7.30     Wally’s Birthday Wordplay

Wally is celebrating Game Village’s birthday by giving away £5 every night PLUS a chance to enter a draw to win £100 on May 31^st! Wally will be spelling out a five letter word (to mark five years) during the live show each night, with the first letter given at around 7.30 each night. You’ll need to listen for the remaining words during the show, and once you’ve got the word, email it to studio@bingoradio.com!

8.00     Mayday! Mayday!

We’re sending out an SOS during this hour of the show, giving you three chances to win some emergency cash! When you hear the morse code, email the name of the following song to studio@bingoradio.com for a chance to win 3 x £5 prizes!

9.00     Chat Host Deb’s Connections

Our very own Debs returns with more of her intriguing connections this month giving you a chance to win up to £10 for correctly identifying what three songs have in common – but be careful, it’s one guess per player per night! Listen out from 9.00 for more details on how to play.

10.00   The Game Village 10@10

It’s the part of the show where you take control. Be ready to email your song requests to studio@bingoradio.com from 9.45 each night to not only hear one of your favourite songs on the radio, but also win £2 into your GameVillage account.

11.00   May Flowers

We round off each evening with two chances to really blossom. When you hear a song that has a type of flower in its title, or in the name of the artist/band, email FLOWER to studio@bingoradio.com for a chance to win 2 x £5 prizes!

Welcome to another month of games and competitions here at Bingo Radio. In the run up to Easter we have some egg-celent (sorry) competitions, with a change of games following our short Bank Holiday break. Details below…

First week of April:

7.30 Bingo Radio’s Easter Bonnet

We’re building a musical Easter bonnet with your help. Each night at 7.30 we’ll be asking you to nominate songs on the theme of items that make up a traditional bonnet, e.g. hat, flowers, bows, ribbon, etc. There’ll be a £5 prize each night and we’ll play the whole thing on Friday.

8.00 Wally’s Easter Egg Hunt

Our resident village idiot has hidden lots of Easter eggs in this hour of the show, each of them worth a different sum of money, including an egg-stra special £25 prize! If you think you’ve found one, just email EASTER EGG to studio@bingoradio.com

9.00 Chat Host Debs’ Connections

You’ll need to listen out for three songs in this hour, chosen by our very own Chat Host Debs, which have a particular connection. You can guess after the first song for a chance to win £10, guess after the second to win £7 or after all three to win £5 – but beware as we’ll be taking your first answer only, so if you’re wrong you’ll have lost!

10.00 GV 10@10

Our ever popular jukebox part of the show returns, with a chance to choose your favourite songs and win £2 into the bargain.

11.00 Record Store Day 2012

This year’s International Record Store Day takes place on April 21^st. We’ll be marking this annual celebration of traditional vinyl record shops by asking you: what was the first record you ever bought? We’ll be playing nostalgic songs, chosen at random, with a £5 win each night.

Remaining weeks of April:

7.00 April Showers

While we’re all hoping for nice weather now that spring has sprung, there are bound to be some April showers. Listen out between 7-8pm each night and when you hear a song with rain or showers as its theme, email APRIL SHOWERS to studio@bingoradio.com for a chance to win £3.

8.00 What’s The Time, Mr Wolf?

Wolfy has pulled out a selection of songs that mention times of day within the lyrics. Each night when you hear Wolfy howl, that means you need to listen carefully to the next song to be played. Once you’ve got the time, email it to studio@bingoradio.com for a chance to win £3.

 9.00 – 11.00 As Above

March madness begins this Thursday 1^st March with the return of our nightly live show. Mark’s recovered from his holiday jet lag (well, more train lag – a two hour flight followed by a six-hour train journey!) and is fully refreshed and raring to go with crazy competitions and potty promos. Please note: Mark returns to his regular shift of Monday-Friday, 7pm-midnight this month.

So here’s what’s in store…

Each night between 7 and 8pm you could win a silly sum of money (everything from 73p up to £4.82) every time you hear a song by the band Madness – just email the word MADNESS to studio@bingoradio.com when one of their songs is played.

Then between 8 and 9pm we remind everyone that “You Don’t Have To Be Mad To Win Here, But It Helps!” Our resident mad person Wally will be back asking daft questions for more chances to win stupid sums of money. Just keep listening out for three chances to win during the hour.

At 9pm you’re invited to join the Bingo Radio T Party where you’re listening for bands or artists that begin with the letter T (in the case of artists either the first name or surname). Each time you hear a T Party artist or band, send their name on an email to studio@bingoradio.com for a chance to win a silly sum.

The Game Village 10@10 continues each weeknight at 10pm with a chance for you to choose the music and win £2 into the bargain. You can email your request from 9.45 to studio@bingoradio.com and then listen to hear if your song is played.

And your final chance to win after 11pm will be with a duo of Silly Ditties. Mark will be asking you to think of the daftest songs you can – it could be everything from a comedy classic to a ridiculous “guilty pleasure”. Two will be selected at random to win yet more silly sums of cash.

Love is in the air during February at Bingo Radio as we celebrate the month of lurve with some lovely games and prizes to make your heart flutter. Of course, we’ll have a special show on Valentine’s Tuesday with extra special prizes PLUS we’re back on Saturdays to spread the love even further!

But, starting Wednesday 1^st February, here’s how you can win each night:

8.00   Wally’s Cupid-Loids – our village idiot is back each night with three chances to win £3. Have you heard of Ditloids? Don’t worry if not, you’ll soon get the hang of them. Wally will have three romantically-themed Ditloid puzzles for you to decipher each night using just initials – e.g. clue: love letter SWALK – answer: Sealed With A Loving Kiss. Listen out from 8pm for more details on how to join in.

9.00   Chat Host Challenge – as you all know, the Game Village chat hosts love to set you quizzes for a chance to win bonuses. But now we turn the tables! Each night at 9pm I’ll be asking you to pose (reasonable!) questions for the chat hosts to answer. They’ll have a strict 10 second time limit to answer each question correctly – if they fail, you’ll win £3 otherwise it’s a £1 consolation prize if they get it right in time. There will be three chances to win in the hour.

10.00 Game Village 10@10 – your chance to choose the music continues throughout February. Mark will be taking your requests from 9.45 each evening, and if your email is chosen at random, you’ll not only get to hear the song you’ve chosen, but also win a £2 prize (homeowners only).

11.00 We Love Music – Mark will be playing 15 minutes of music from a chosen artist to round off each evening. There’ll be a £3 prize for the person who selects each night’s band or artist and a further two lots of £3 for requests chosen at random.

ALSO STARTING LATER THIS WEEK…

I Just Called to Hear “I Love you” – want to win £10? We have a crisp tenner to give away each evening, but you’ll need to share your phone number with us and be ready to answer with the phrase that pays. We’ll start taking emails for this from 7.30 each evening and Mark could be calling at any time. If your phone rings, make sure you answer it with “I Love You” to win the tenner, otherwise it’s a £1 consolation prize.

There’s an International flavour to Bingo Radio this month as we go on an extended vacation.

 Of course, we’d never get anywhere without a mode of transport so during the live show this month there will be various songs that mention planes, trains, cars, bikes, boats and more. Each time you hear one, simply send the word mentioned in the song title (e.g. JET PLANE) to studio@bingoradio.com for a chance to win £3! 

Between 8-9pm we go Around the World with some of the world’s biggest artists – but do you know their true nationality? We’ll be asking you where some of the biggest names in music have their roots. If you can name the country they’re associated with you can win £3. 

We’ve sent A Village Idiot Abroad all this month, with Wally jetting around the planet on a worldwide voyage. Each night at 9pm he’ll be phoning in with clues as to his location and if you think you know where he is, you could win up to £10! 

The Game Village 10@10 returns each weeknight from 10pm with more chances to request some of your favourite songs. Remember – if your song is played you will win £2 (1,000 points for non-homeowners). Emails for the Game Village 10@10 accepted between 9.45 and 10.15pm. 

Finally, did you know that many artists have recorded foreign language versions of their hits? Everyone from Blondie, David Bowie, Phil Collins – er, even Bucks Fizz have done it. Whenever you hear a song that doesn’t sound quite how it should, email its English name to studio@bingoradio.com and you could win £3!

Bingo Radio is back tonight with our Halloween spooktacular from 7pm!

You can expect a selection of ghoulish songs and some blood-curdling competitions!

At various points in the evening you’ll be invited to play Trick or Treat with the chat hosts. You’ll need to pick one of the hosts who have recorded a special message which could be a trick or a treat – if you’re chosen to play and you bag a treat, it could be worth anything up to £10! 

Wolfy will be loose tonight. When you hear him howl, email the word WOLFY to studio@bingoradio.com and you could win £3 each time around. 

At 8.30pm you’ll be invited to guess the weight of the enormous Bingo Radio Pumpkin in stones and lbs – it really is that big! Whoever comes closest can win that amount in cash (for example, if it’s 2 stones and 4 lbs that means you can win £2.40) 

We have a special Game Village 10 @ 10 with wall-to-wall Halloween requests, worth £3 each. Requests can be sent to studio@bingoradio.com from 9.45pm onwards. 

Halloween is all about surprises – not necessarily nasty – so keep listening for more details of on-the-spot competitions and prizes throughout the evening.
