It's been a momentous year at RN; new shows, new voices and new ways to share all on offer. As always we thank you for being at the centre of it. All that's left to say for the moment is we wish you all the best for a safe and happy holiday season, in whichever way you mark it. Read on for some extra special summer highlights including the side-splitting Wharf Revue , an exclusive Christmas institution on RN. And from 24 December if you miss the 9am Best of Life Matters timeslot you can catch it in the evening at 7pm. The RN Newsletter will return to your inbox from 23 January, just in time for the launch of our new schedule for 2013. See you then. |
