The Service
The
Niagara Frontier Radio Reading Service is the radio station that reads
for people who can't read. For 24 hours every day, Niagara Frontier Radio
Reading Service volunteers broadcast readings of newspapers, magazines,
books, vital local information and other printed matter to blind and print-handicapped
persons throughout Western New York.
Radio Reading? Why? Most of us can pick up and read a newspaper, magazine
or book without effort, but those without sight-our blind and print-handicapped
neighbors- need someone to read for them- that "someone" is
the Niagara Frontier Radio Reading Service.
The Niagara Frontier Radio Reading Service is a special "radio station"
for Western New York residents- who are unable to read the printed matter
that most of us take for granted.
Radio Reading's 300 volunteers broadcast 24-hour-a-day readings of newspapers,
magazines, books, vital information and other printed matter to blind
and print-handicapped persons throughout Western New York.
Area blind and print-handicapped persons are provided a "reading
radio" so they can listen to the Niagara Frontier Radio Reading Service.
The Radio Reading signal cannot be heard on a normal radio; the NFRRS provides special radio reading receivers to area print-handicapped people.
NFRRS Board Operater: Andy
Volunteer radio readers broadcast readings of newspapers, magazines, books and other printed matter every day; a typical reader has 1 1/2 hours to record a 1-hour reading. "Live" newspaper readings are 2 hours in length, with two readers alternating. The Niagara Frontier Radio Reading Service is on-the-air 24 hours a day, every day of the year. The NFRRS needs volunteers to do readings, to do clerical work and to assist at special NFRRS events. Get more volunteer information
