PRX: Thanks a Million
Hi friend of PRX,
Can you imagine a million…of anything? PRX can. For the last six years we’ve been paying out royalties and program support to stations, producers and others who use PRX. And we just passed the $1,000,000 mark!
That’s a lot of moolah. One elementary school even earned royalties for their radio pieces and the kids showed off their shiny nickels. OK, so how fast can we send out another MILLION? It’s up to you!

The program debuted on Minnesota Public Radio and received tons of listener calls from those who wanted to contribute their own stories, and has already received positive feedback on PRX.
