Posted by: Ulysses King    Under: Partners |

OK, not exactly...but they are looking for the best lip synchers to submit video on Power House TV - their new branded Kyte channel, which is open to fans to submit videos.

Power 106, Southern California’s #1 hip hop radio station with over 1.5 million listeners per week, has launched a video contest for its listeners to win backstage passes to the upcoming Power House ‘08 concert.  Check it out here: http://www.power106.fm/powertv/

In order to win, Power 106 listeners must submit video of themselves lip synching to their their favorite Power House ‘08 artist.  This sold out concert is the HOTTEST ticket in town...ok, maybe after the Lakers/Celtics showdown in the NBA Finals

They are promoting the contest on air and online and driving traffic to Power House TV.  So c’mon people, get creative with your Kyte videos and win those tickets and passes!
