Radio Reading Service

The KPBS Radio Reading Service broadcasts the readings of newspapers, books, and magazines to those with low vision, blindness, and other impairments. The Reading Service is available 24 hours a day over a private audio channel, and online via audio webstream.

The KPBS Radio Reading Service is experiencing technical delivery issues. Programming might not be available on occasions until the problem is resolved. Thank you for your patience during this period of temporary programming interruptions. We hope to have the problems resolved as soon as possible.
