Challenge Radio / Celebrating UK Radio in a day! - Tuesday 14th October 2014 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 09:06:37 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8.2 76701599 One Day Is Enough! Is it? /2014/10/one-day-is-enough-is-it/ Wed, 15 Oct 2014 20:00:21 +0000 /?p=335

Right now outside the Lowry there is no sign of Challenge Radio ever being there.

We’ve had a blast over the last few days and would like to thank everyone who helped make an idea (a long time ago) a reality.

Congratulations to all our DAB Digital Radio winners, hopefully even without Challenge Radio being available you’ll find a suitable alternative!
