Hi friend of PRX,
Well, wouldn’t we all be surprised if Wolf named PRX as the winner of this grand contest? That would be sobering. Plenty of people do pick PRX every week, making us the hot candidate for independents and those hungry for change…on the radio. Not that we think of ourselves as all mavericky, but we do take some pride in shaking things up. We hope you voted today. And vote for more originality on the radio every week by using PRX.
In our dreams!
