A big cheer from Palo Alto, California. Congrats to everyone at WRS. What super reporting!
Great news -love the National-well deserved!
Congratulations all around, you deserve this award in recognition of your informative, interesting, up-to-the minute English speaking radio programming!
Way to go, WRS. Heartfelt congratulations for a job well done ! Keep up the good work and quality programming.
Congratulations on well deserved recognition. Finally it has been acknowledged that there is an enthusiastic following for your mixture of news,interesting topic coverage and music and (perhaps above all) humour!!
Congratulations! Fantastic and very pro-Swiss station all around. Why the Swiss Broadcasting Corp is not proud of WRS beats me. And furthermore, we are all paying towards the Swiss broadcasting fees.
Well done! Congratulations, but no surprise ! A really top station, with a well balanced mix to suit all listeners.
