News Talk 630 WPRO & 99.7 FM and Petro Oil Award Listener with $3,000 in Oil-Heat

In an effort to provide listeners with unique promotional opportunities and exclusive contesting News Talk 630 WPRO & 99.7 FM ran an on-air and interactive contest in October giving listeners the chance to win $3000.00 worth of oil heat. In conjunction with local company Petro Oil WPRO executed the, “Get Pro-Active with Petro Oil” contest. Listeners were directed to station website to sign up for the daily WPRO News Room E-blast where, upon submitting, were qualified to win the grand prize.

One submission was randomly selected and that was Paula Giocastro of 67 Chestnut Ave. Cranston.

“My husband and I love WPRO-AM,” says Giocastro. “When I found out I was the winner of $3,000 worth of heating oil I just was amazed,” she says. “Not having to pay for heating oil this year will take such pressure off and make for a better Christmas for the family."

“Every Rhode Islander is concerned about energy costs,” says Suzanne Melo, General Manager of Petro Rhode Island, “that’s why we are thrilled to give this award to a neighbor in our community. We believe it’s important to do our best to help our Rhode Island neighbors control their energy costs, save money and make home comforts more affordable.”
