Humboldt Council of the Blind: Local Resources

Humboldt Council of the Blind

Reading Service of the Redwoods

The Reading Service of the Redwoods, (RSR), provides on-air reading of local newspapers and other printed materials for the community members who are blind, visually impaired, homebound or who have disabilities which make it difficult to read printed matter.
This "access to print" gives RSR listeners the opportunity to participate more actively and fully in their communities.

Our Audience:
RSR reaches approximately 40,000 homes in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties via cable TV systems. Beginning in January 2007, the service will be aired on KHSU's second audio channel.

You can listen to the RSR program on KEET-TV's SAP audio channel. Or on KHSU second audio channel with a special receiver. Contact RSR to apply for a special receiver or use the link below to download a printable PDF application file.

News articles are read from newspapers including the Arcata Eye, The McKinleyville Press, the Eureka Times-Standard, the Humboldt Beacon, the Ferndale Enterprise, the Humboldt State Lumberjack, and Senior News. Our Current Schedule Tune to KEET-TV, Channel 13, at 10 AM, Monday through Friday. In order to hear our program, switch your SAP audio mode to "ON". (Most VCRs and TVs have a SAP, or "Second Audio Program" mode which can be found on the back of your TV, or by using your remote control's menue.)
