Start Your Morning Off With a Win From Wake Up Rider!

Wake Up Rider is home to some of The Bronc’s most popular contests, giving listeners and Rider students fun ways to win prizes while becoming part of the show. Every Monday morning at 8:20 a.m., listeners can take part in the Monday Morning Hangover, sponsored by McGuinn’s Place, 1781 Brunswick Ave, Lawrence. Listeners submit a list of songs from their favorite artist, and one winner is selected to have two songs from that artist played back-to-back on air! The winner also receives two tickets to a Catch A Rising Star Comedy Show at the Hyatt Princeton, a $25 gift card to McGuinn’s Place, and a 107.7 The Bronc T-shirt.

Thursdays bring the Morning Bagel Run and Jewelry Spree, sponsored by Caesar’s Bagels and Deli and Peroni’s Hidden Treasures, both located in the University Plaza in Mercerville. At 8:45 or 9:45 a.m., Wake Up Rider surprises a class or campus office with 18 bagels, cream cheese, and coffee from Caesar’s Bagels and Deli! The promotion also gives listeners the chance to win a $250 Peroni’s Hidden Treasures gift card, with one winner selected each semester.

Pop Up Trivia, sponsored by Peroni’s Hidden Treasures, is bringing Wake Up Rider out into the community! Brian and RJ will hit the road every Friday, visiting our sponsors and other locations throughout Mercer County to surprise unsuspecting people with a chance to play this “man on the street” trivia contest! The feature will air live on Wake Up Rider every Friday and will also be shared as a reel on the show’s social media, giving listeners another fun way to interact with the show and compete for prizes!

These contests have become an important part of the Wake Up Rider experience, combining giveaways, local business partnerships, and on-air interaction to give listeners more reasons to tune in every morning. The Morning Bagel Run and Jewelry Spree was also recognized with the 2026 Intercollegiate Broadcasting Systems Media Award for Best Giveaway, highlighting the promotion as one of Wake Up Rider’s signature listener experiences.
