NEW YORK // PRNewswire // -- Univision Radio, the leading Spanish- language radio broadcaster in the U.S., announced a year-long sponsorship by SUBWAY(R) Restaurants of its exclusive Concert Series. Each concert will feature an opening act performance by an up-and-coming artist, sponsored by SUBWAY(R) Restaurants. The partnership also includes the creation and promotion of a branded micro-site entitled "SUBWAY Artistas Frescos(TM)" (SUBWAY Fresh Face Artists(TM)), where listeners can enter to win prizes, including a grand prize trip for two to a Univision Radio Concert Series event over the course of the year.
