IMPORTANT REMINDER re: RockStar VIP Club

As you may have heard, we are excited to launch a new and improved membership program for the RockStar VIP Club. This means the RockStar VIP Club will be closing as of July 28th, 2017.

After July 28th, 2017, you’ll be able to enjoy a whole new way of staying in touch with your favourite radio station, without the hassle of having to collect points. You’ll be able to access exclusive content – and enter exclusive contests – fully accessible from your smartphone and other mobile devices. More details will be coming soon.

We are excited about this improved and simplified way for you to win, and hope you continue to take advantage of the exclusive prizing from 97.9 ROCK.

Just a reminder to use your current points A.S.A.P – including a chance to win a $150 TSC Savings Card – plus $5,000 in cash! Going forward, you’ll be seeing fewer opportunities to collect points, and after 7:59am July 28th, 2017 you will no longer be able to redeem them – so use them now!

Keep your radios tuned to 97.9 ROCK for all the contests, music and personalities you love!
