ZFX Radio Contest Largest in Radio Station History
by Dillon Whitmore Hundreds of thousands of people are on the brink of insanity, as they have their ears glued to their radios waiting for call to play ZFX. Also known as the Z-FX and Z-effect, this 2.5 second sound bite, has nearly a whole Province of people in Western Canada going bonkers tearing their hair out in an attempt to claim the ever growing cash jackpot. Z95.3, the radio station who hosts the contest every year, has been playing the ZFX radio contest for over 10 years running. At special times throughout the day, the station will sound the alert to call-in and guess the current z-effect. At that exact moment, hundreds of thousands of people collectively dial their telephones in an attempt to be lucky caller number 9. The fortunate person who is lucky enough to get the chance to play ZFX, then has to guess exactly what the z-effect is in order to lay claim to the currently growing jackpot. Even though residents of British Columbia are only eligible to play and win the contest, ZFX is garnering lots of attention from across the country. Everyone, it seems, wants to be part of this phenomenon. While there have been some very large cash jackpots won over the years, never in the history of the Z95.3 radio station has the cash jackpot reached the current level of over $56,000. The whole Province is buzzing with activity all surrounding possible guesses of what exactly the z-effect is. Forums, message boards and local chat lines are sucking up major bandwidth in an attempt to come to a general consensus of what the current z-effect could possibly be. The entire city of Vancouver is almost having a meltdown over the current sound bite. Who will win... when will they win... how much will they win, and most importantly, WHAT IS the z-effect? Those are the questions teaming inside everyone's brain, as they vye for their bid to lay claim to the current ZFX jackpot. These questions will soon be answered. Rest assured that the lucky person who finally guesses the current z-effect will be the envy of all who are consumed by its sound.
