Make me a winner

Make me a winner!
More like make me annoyed .....
Does anyone win...
Every day seems a rollover . T&C's rubbish.
One rule states if rollover, your pervious WIN confirmations are carried into the next day. The other rule seems to imply you need to re submit a new WIN response text each day making this a total scam and money grabbing process. No mention of "rollover" in the response messages making it impossible to understand if your previous texts are still active.

Variety my foot, this station is trash

This radio station just an airwave filler, I am forced to listen to this trash at work and they play the same 8 songs every hour on the hour they claim they are variety yet all i hear is trash Ibiza anthems, R+B and an advert about sausage the dog, I want to shoot myself having to listen to this utter trash and the presenters openly trash some of the most classic rock bands in the world like Queen, the presenters think they are funny yet all i hear is their airwaves being filled with talk about suede-science nonsense talk about doodling on paper, ive heard them say more than once they have chosen the 'best anthems' and then they play the same stuff from the mid 2000s and remixes of much greater songs to the points its a linguistic hindrance. Where's the rock, steampunk, synth-wave, industrial: anything apart from this hourly spiral of the same songs over and over and over again, its demoralising the fact that not everyone likes this kind of music they have on offer.
Update... I quit my job mainly because this was played so loud it was like being in a nightclub in the mid 2000s... This station affects people's mental health.. and prays on people offering them a chance at free money.. they respect it so much under their marketing tactics that people will spend £100s to get a chance to win defeating the reason to play.. repeat something enough times people will begin to believe it wake up sheeple..you would be better to buy food than fall for this in a cost of living crisis

It must now be over 20 years

It must now be over 20 years, that your network of radio shows have been able make massive revenues by phone in competitions. I can remember getting ripped off back in the early 2000s with guess the mystery voice, whereupon I run up over a £300 phone bill. Anyway that's all history now, but here we are in 2023 with Make me a winner scam. I use the word scam, because I cannot accept the amount of times that you attempt to contact a winner only to find no answer "after five rings" Your game is obviously trying to encourage as many people as possible with the day's schedule, to call in at £2 a time, thus raising the funds to give away plus your profit. Fair enough, although I also have to question how a commercial radio station can excessively push their listeners to part with their cash, which can effectively lead to some people spending money they can't afford to lose.Thus creating financial problems when they receive a sky high phone bill. Personally, I think this form of radio entertainment is yet another form of companies creating revenue by attracting the public to gamble; such as the likes of TV phone-ins, scratch cards and lottery tickets etc. All of them homing in on a means to make big profits by manipulating the public's hope and desperation to finally have a few quid to life a better life. So please don't say it's simply entertainment or a just bit of fun. By repeatedly asking your loyal listeners to call in and part with £2 on the hour, daily and over the week. This isn't radio creating an atmosphere of the feel good factor, it's more about how much money can we squeeze out of you, regardless of whether or not you can afford it. How about making it twenty pence a go? No, that wouldn't allow the phone companies to cream off their slice of the pie and drastically reduce the company profits. Ok, how about making regular announcements to listeners, to give a breakdown on all of the money created via the call charges? Yes, you give a lot of money away, but how much actually goes int boosting your own profits? Not least, an investigation should be carried out, in relation to why no one ever answers when you call to give them 90+ grand. If I'd have spent a fortune ringing up to enter the completion, then I'm fairly sure I'd have been sat waiting for the phone ring. Hrmmm.

Total scam, competition is shocking you will never win. Shocking this day and age that they can scam people in this way, they should repay everyone that’s entered.

I have been playing this game for nearly a year now and nothing. I don't believe this game. And the funny think is the people they call are so calm. The like ooh you won £15.000 and in this difficult time of life they be like oh wow thanks. I know just getting a call the excitement will kill me. But this is very dodgy. They are so normal about it. No I don't believe anymore

The worst radio station there is on air…

The worst radio station there is on air by a country mile, if you like Lewis capaldi by the way you will love it because this radio station is obsessed with the guy, all you need to do is check out the last 10 songs played and I will guarantee you Lewis capaldi will be on there, and it literally is the same day after day after day after day after day, it truly is unrelenting, Its not even worthy of the 1 star I had to give them to write this comment, absolutely abysmal radio station

I have stopped listening to heart radio after becoming addicted to the competitions praying I would win due to financial difficulties, What a fool I am, just ended up with a massive phone bill that I could not afford. You lot make millions and dont give a hoot about peoples misery. Should change the name to HEARTLESS.

Heart radio

Heart radio . Where do I start . The 80s/90s station , fair enough , it does what it says . But the normal Heart . I hate it that much I’m even wasting precious time to review it . I work in an office that plays it every day . All day every day . My soul has been gently eaten away listening to songs from 2008 -apple bottom Jeans … who even liked it at the time yet alone plays it day in or day out now .
They have a special thing for blue Jennifer Lopez and Becky hill - always the same song .
It’s the most depressing station of all time for me personally .
Like , In my whole life .
Thankfully I leave the company soon so never again will that depressing drivel ever touch my eardrums .
And Pandora , bless her -she’s far better than trying to polish a t**d

Same song different day

Does anybody actually work at Heart? If so, change up the playlist. Forced to listen to this all day at work. Affecting mental health a lot. Insanely repetitive radio station. Same old cheesy pop electronic r&b songs of 20 years ago… every… single… day.
This station sounds like it’s sponsored by Lewis Capaldi and Bruno Mars and his flippin grenade.
Show me the money is the most annoying and worst competition in the history of all radio competitions…. Those poor callers who phone in only to get a lower amount 90% of the time. Total scam.
Terrible radio station….. wish I could quit my employment because of this awful, awful station.

Worst radio station ever.

If I could rate this a 0 I would the hosts are boring as hell. They claim to have a feel good weekend which is them literally playing the same songs. The songs the play where popular in like 2007 and the ones they play get repeated over and over again. This station needs to seriously change what it plays people don’t want to experience ground hog day change the music if you really want to help. And stop doing stupid competitions and preying on people’s vulnerabilities At a time like this when there’s a cost of living crisis.

Mental health concern for workers.

You need to change your radio playlist. The place where I work has forced us to listen to your almost 95% repetitive playlists for almost 2 years straight.

You’re single handedly contributing to the detriment of the working peoples mental health. It’s the year 2023. We’re sick of hearing songs that were cool 13 years ago played multiple times a day.

I’ve also just found a “Heart FM playlist” on YouTube where you proudly display your fossils. Hauntingly familiar too.
