This isn’t local, but what a great radio story. It happened in Singapore of all places, where a somewhat obsessed radio fan became determined to win a $10,000 first prize by identifying the celebrity voices in a station’s contest.
 
He tuned in endlessly, hearing wrong guesses and even making a few himself, until finally he got through on the contest line one more time and gave his answer. They told him he was wrong. A few weeks later, someone won the prize – using the exact same names.
 
He was understandably upset – why did they say he was wrong? The station explained he’d mispronounced one of the names and was disqualified under the rules. Undaunted, he contacted the celebrity in question, sent him the aircheck and asked him how to pronounce his own name!
 
What happened next apparently still isn’t over.
