PRX: The Envelope Please
Hi friend of PRX,
The Oscars are cool and all. For something that started when Clark Gable was still considered a rising star.
PRX will put the Zeitfunk Awards up against the gold statue of a naked man anytime. We’re crunching the numbers to see which producer was THE most licensed, what stations aired the most PRX stuff and tons of other categories. Try to handicap the winners based on last year’s results. Watch PRX.org at the end of the month!
