Who said “Romance is dead?” Not you, not PBS – it’s very much alive and well. Thank you to everyone who showed PBS some love during this year’s ‘Romance Your Radio’ Festival. Our hearts were warmed by the many thousands of people who took the plunge and made a commitment to the station and so it’s with great pleasure we return that love with the announcement of the major prize winners.
Read on for the 2013 winners of the Radio Festival major and daily prizes!
