Many people take being able to sit down and read the newspaper or a magazine for granted.
WVTF Public Radio in Roanoke realizes there are people out there with print disabilities. That is why they began offering the Radio Reading Service. This portion of the signal can only be picked up by a special FM-SCA receiver, which the station provides to qualified persons free of charge. Persons wishing to acquire the service need to complete a receiver application, which is available by request at the radio station. This particular Radio Reading Service was started in 1979.
