104.9 The X has been rocking Rockford for over 30 years. In order to truly be YOUR rock station, we need your opinion. That is why The X is giving you a say in every song we play. Yup, EVERY song! It’s pretty simple…

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

Step One: Make sure we are in your contact list. 815-874-2104. This number has you covered for calling and texting.

Step Two: Listen and rate your take. One through five. Five being the best. M for more. L for less. Love a song and want to hear it more? Text 5M. It’s ok but maybe we play it too much, text 3L. Real Rock Club Members, we’ll REWARD you with 5 points EVERY time you rate a song. (See below for more on rating songs). Use those points on score things like concert tickets, music, movies and more!

To put it simply… Listen. Rate. Earn. Join and start reaping the benefits!

HOW DO I RATE SONGS?

You now have a say in every song we play! Sounds like a lot of work, right? NOPE! It’s simple!

When you hear a song on 104.9 The X, rate it! Even if you are NOT a Real Rock Club Member, you can now rate songs! *you can only rate the SAME song once every 7 days.
How does rating a song work if I’m not in the Real Rock Club? You don’t have to be a member. When you hear a song, just text 815-874-2104 while the song is playing with your rating.
RATE THE SONG BY TEXT on a scale 1 (hate it) to 5 (love it) and follow the number with an L (less) or M (more) as to how much more or less you want to hear it. You may LOVE a song (5) but are getting sick of it, so you want to hear it less (L) so you would text in 5L.

SONG RATING EXAMPLE:
RISE AGAINST – “Satellite”
5M (love it, want to hear it more)
5L (love it, but am getting sick of it and want to hear it less)
4M (really like it and want to hear it more)
4L (really like it but I’m ready to hear less of it)
3M (like it and want to hear more of it)
3L (like it, but want to hear it less)
2M (not a big fan, but don’t mind if you play it)
2L (not a big fan and please stop playing it)
1M (this doesn’t really make sense, haha!);)
1L (hate it, want to hear it less)

In case you have never seen a text message before, here’s what you can expect…

HOW DO I CHECK IN TO EARN POINTS?

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH MY PHONE NUMBER?
Nothing, unless you win something. In which case we’ll just call you to let you know you’ve won. BUT, we will first try to contact you via email. So if you win an auction prize, check the email account you used to sign up with us. We will NEVER sell nor share your personal contact information with outside sources and we will NEVER call you to solicit anything.

ARE THESE TEXT MESSAGES GOING TO COST ME?
Not in addition to what you already pay for cell service, unless you don’t have an unlimited texting plan. This program works best with people who have unlimited texting plans but if you don’t have unlimited texting, you’re not outta luck! You can rate songs directly from the REAL ROCK CLUB home page on your PC/desktop/etc. So while texting is best, it’s not necessary. You should know that some mobile carriers are not compatible with SHORT-CODES. Check with your service provider for details.

WHAT CAN I DO AS A MEMBER?
Glad you asked. Members have the ability to text The X’s studio whenever. Request songs, have a conversation with the jock on the air, make fun of ’em…the possibilities are endless. You also get to participate in online prize auctions using the points you earn by rating songs. You can participate in online surveys to voice your opinion on hot topics! PLUS, you earn points for every survey you take. You’ll also have the ability to earn MORE POINTS by checking in at certain events, locations and concerts! Super easy, right?!
