WKAR Radio Reading Service - East Lansing, MI 🇺🇸

WKAR Radio Reading Service, an outreach service of WKAR Public Media at Michigan State University, provides access to printed materials for individuals who are blind, visually impaired, or have other disabilities that make reading standard print difficult.

The service broadcasts over a dedicated radio frequency using special radio receivers provided to eligible individuals, helping listeners stay informed about current events, pursue educational opportunities, and participate more fully in their communities. Programming includes both live readings for real-time news and pre-recorded broadcasts for a wider selection of materials. WKAR Radio Reading Service focuses on community engagement, providing valuable resources to individuals with disabilities, and fostering independence while reducing social isolation.
