Florida will no longer provide Radio Reading Service grants to stations providing readings of newspapers and magazines to blind and visually impaired citizens. WQCS has provided the service free of charge to area residents since 1995 and, despite the loss of state funding, will continue over the next year to offer readings of Treasure Coast news articles otherwise unavailable. The Florida legislature requested that sight impaired individuals make use of the National Federation of the Blind “Newsline” synthesized voice telephone service to hear stories from some Florida newspapers that are available. The local Radio Reading Service is available on special receivers provided free by WQCS. Hours of operation will change July 6, 2009, with volunteers reading local news articles Monday through Saturday from 10 am to noon and repeated at 7-9 pm. The service is operated 24 hours a day airing a national reading service providing newspapers and magazines articles from major publications. |
