Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED], We have that same service down here in Florida too as well. I have been a subscriber to the radio reading service for all most 7 years now, I am more informed now then I was before I subscribed to the service. I had to go through my DBS councilor to get the special receiver, but there is a sub station off of WUFT that reads to me the Lake City Reporter every evening at 6:30. Not only do I know what's going on around here, I know what's going on every where else too. My best regards. John. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 6:06 PM Subject: Audio Vision Radio for the blind
