What is the WBYR-FM Dad's Who Rock vote and who runs it?

Program and organizer

WBYR-FM Dad's Who Rock is a photo voting promotion from WBYR-FM, the Fort Wayne, Indiana market station that sits in the Federated Media group as a sister of WOWO. The ballot runs on the Second Street platform, and the organizer's listing classes the promotion as a photo voting promotion. The listing describes one public ballot under this name, so readers looking for the contest by its full name are looking at a single listed promotion.

The organizer's listing is the only source for the program's name, market and vote type, so each of those points stays tied to that listing. Readers comparing it with a recurring Fort Wayne award should note that the platform shows a single dated window, not a run of annual editions.

Because the listing carries one closed window, a reader cannot infer a schedule from it. The table below and the dated section that follows keep the confirmed dates separate from anything the listing leaves unstated. The same organizer's platform pages also carry sweepstakes entries, which run on a different mechanic from this public vote and should not be confused with it. The dated history follows in the next section.

When did the 2025 Dad's Who Rock window run, and what is still unknown?

The confirmed edition

The only edition the platform data confirms is the 2025 window, which the Second Street listing dates from May 30 to June 16, 2025. Its status is closed, so the ballot no longer takes votes under the listed link. No earlier run appears in the platform data, and no later edition is listed for 2026. A reader who finds a newer ballot should treat it as a separate listing with its own dates, checked on its own page.

EditionWindowStatus
2025May 30 to June 16Closed
2026No window listedNothing in platform data

This is the first confirmed edition; whether it returns next year is not yet published; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

Key fact: A closed window means the listed page cannot collect new votes, so any planning starts from the next published ballot rather than from this one.

How does a supporter vote on the Dad's Who Rock ballot?

The mechanic on file

The mechanic on file for this program is a public vote, so anyone who reaches the Second Street page during an open window can cast a vote for an entry. The listing data offers no detail on how entries are presented on screen or whether a sign-in step applies. A reader who opens the page after a window has closed will see the closed status instead of voting controls, which is the quickest way to confirm that no vote can be cast there now.

Ballot details the data leaves open

Ballot detailWhat the listing shows
Ballot formatPhoto voting promotion
Category listNot published
Vote cap per supporterNot published
Eligibility termsNot published

The organizer has left the category roster, any per-supporter vote cap and the eligibility terms out of the listing data, so no rule about how often a supporter may return is stated on this page.

How does this Indiana ballot sit beside its listed neighbors?

The sibling set

The programs listed beside this page come from another state, so they serve only as format references for best-of and food ballots, not as Indiana rivals. Their names appear in the related contests list at the end of this guide.

Dad's Who Rock differs from them in its market and its platform. Its name reads like a recurring award, yet the listing shows a single edition, so any comparison with a recurring ballot stops at the name.

Other Indiana ballots

Within Indiana, the closest comparison is the same publisher's separate Fort Wayne A-List 2026 listing. The listing data treats that as a different program, so the two should be checked on their own live pages. For other Indiana ballots, see Indiana contests.

How can a supporter help a nominee on a public ballot like this one?

Legitimate outreach

Outreach on this Dad's Who Rock page should stay inside what an open ballot allows. Anyone can vote on the Second Street page during a window, so a supporter may point fans of the station toward it. Each supporter should cast a vote from their own device and their own judgment, and should say plainly that the vote is open to anyone rather than implying a special access path. The listing sets out no terms for help from outside supporters, so read the live page before running any campaign.

WBYR-FM Dad's Who Rock — frequently asked questions

14 answers covering legality, delivery, quality, pricing and platform specifics.

How do I vote in WBYR-FM Dad's Who Rock?
Find the WBYR-FM Dad's Who Rock listing on Second Street and cast a vote on that page while a window is open. The 2025 window has closed, so the listed page no longer collects votes. Any later edition would need its own listing, and none appears in the platform data.
When does Dad's Who Rock voting close?
The 2025 window has already closed, and the listing shows no close date for a current edition. No active deadline can be given until a new listing is published. Readers who saw an older ballot should compare its dates with the table in the dated history section, which lists the only window the platform data confirms.
How is the Dad's Who Rock winner chosen?
The mechanic on file is a public vote on the platform, so the result follows the votes cast on the listed page while the window is open. Votes cast on the sweepstakes pages of the same organizer belong to a separate mechanic and do not decide this ballot. The listing does not describe a judging panel, a tiebreak rule or a prize structure, so none is stated here.
Is there a per-supporter vote cap in Dad's Who Rock?
The listing does not publish a per-supporter vote cap, so no limit is stated here. The one thing the listing does show is the closed 2025 status, which means no new votes can be cast on that page at all. A repeat vote could conflict with whatever rules the station has posted, so look for those on the Second Street page before casting a second vote.
Is voting in Dad's Who Rock free?
Nothing in the platform listing mentions a fee to vote, and no paid entry step is described. Read the organizer's terms on the page itself before voting, because the listing data does not contain them. A request to pay for a vote on this page should be treated as outside the listed ballot, and the platform address should be checked before any payment is made.
Can I buy votes for my Dad's Who Rock nominee?
The Dad's Who Rock listing on Second Street says nothing about purchased votes, and no paid-vote step appears in its photo voting data. Whether a purchase would conflict with the station's terms cannot be judged from the listing, so ask WBYR-FM about its rules before acting.
Can I vote for Dad's Who Rock on my phone?
Dad's Who Rock runs as a Second Street page, so a phone browser can load the listed link. The listing data does not describe any phone-only step, so open the page on your own device during any future window. Screen layout and button labels are not in the listing data either.
When does Dad's Who Rock voting open in 2026?
No 2026 window appears in the platform data, so no opening date can be given for that year. The only confirmed window ran in May and June 2025, which is a past pattern rather than a schedule for the next ballot.
Is Dad's Who Rock a legitimate contest?
The listing shows a public web vote run by WBYR-FM on the Second Street platform, with no jury or panel described. Only one edition appears, so the listing gives no basis for calling it a multi-year contest.
Does WBYR-FM publish a category list for Dad's Who Rock?
The listing data carries no category list, so the number of categories is not stated. Check the live ballot page for any roster before planning around one, since none is in the platform data. Any roster would have to come from the organizer, not from this guide.
Which platform hosts the Dad's Who Rock ballot?
Second Street hosts this WBYR-FM listing, which sits beside several other station promotions there, including sweepstakes entries. The photo voting page carries the 2025 window and a closed status. Use the address printed in the station's listing rather than a third-party link, since a copied address may point to a different promotion on the same platform.
Would buying votes for a WBYR-FM listing be lawful?
This listing data includes no purchase rule for Dad's Who Rock, so it cannot settle whether buying votes is lawful for this ballot. For the general position, see <a href="/buy-votes-online/">buy votes online</a>. Treat any purchase as a question for the station before acting.
What outreach is allowed for a Dad's Who Rock entry?
Mentioning the Second Street page to listeners who already tune in to the station is the simplest step on an open public vote. For broader outreach ideas, see <a href="/how-to/get-more-votes-online/">how to get more votes online</a>.
Is Dad's Who Rock the same contest as the Fort Wayne A-List?
No. The listing data treats the Fort Wayne A-List 2026 as a separate program from the same publisher, so each needs its own check of the live page. Sharing a publisher does not make them one ballot. Each listing has its own name, its own platform page and its own status, so a supporter should never assume that a vote on one counts on the other.
