Piercing Ken Thoughts: So there you go and congratulations to all of the winning parties. Please don’t think too unkindly of me but I haven’t seen more than 90% of the shows that won out this year. That said I do hope that you are enjoying this new type of offering to our content base and if you’d like to peruse the other awards shows that have been listed so far – just click on the “2017 – and the winner is” tag and it will open up a new page with the rundown. That’s all I have for the moment, but rest assured I’ll be back soon enough with something to entertain you. Thanks for reading.
