I don't recall all of the specifics of this unfortunate contest; was the contest attributed specifically to her? The Promotions Department oversees every contest (including rules) at every radio station I've seen, and usually sourced from Programming.

Nobody at a station is the single responsible party. It may have been one person's idea, but it had obviously been accepted by sales (it was done as a remote in a commercial location, IIRC) and management as well. So if nobody thought "gee, is that really safe?" then it is the company, not the individual which is the primary responsible party. Of course, law suits often name "John Doe and Richard Roe" as defendants so that they can open the door to unnamed parties during the proceedings.
She was one of a three-person air team. Here is a link to news coverage of the story. Ten people at the station were fired:
