Rock station to offer a free divorce for Valentine’s Day

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A Charleston radio station is observing Valentine’s Day with a reminder that Cupid sometimes misses his mark.

WKLC-FM, better known as Rock 105, is offering a free divorce.

Valentine’s Day isn’t all hearts and flowers, says WKLC Program Director Jay Nunley. There is a darker side, he said, “where maybe you despise your spouse and resent the entire day.”

Through 4 p.m. today, Valentine’s Day, applications for the free divorce will be accepted on the classic rock station’s Web site, www.wklc.com. The winning name will be drawn at 5 p.m.

Nunley cautions that this is a real divorce and people shouldn’t enter if they aren’t serious. Also, people expecting a long, drawn-out legal battle should hire a lawyer because the Rock 105 contest is for a relatively uncomplicated divorce.
