Scrapbook/Listener Pictures on the Web
To better establish a community presence, Piedmont Broadcasting may take pictures at public events (concerts, contests, remotes, etc) and post them on our website.

Also, Piedmont Broadcasting will take photographs of winners of promotions. Since contests are so heavily advertised on our website and on-air, Piedmont Broadcasting feels as though the public would like to be involved when it comes to showcasing the winner. Those who win these promotions need to understand that their picture will be taken by a Piedmont Broadcasting employee and could be displayed on our website, social media networking sites or with any promotion dealing with a similiar event.
