We Breathe Words Into
Your Life
The Triangle Radio Reading Service (TRRS) is a non-profit information
agency which
- Operates 24 hours a day on an audio network of radio, television and
cable
- Disseminates current news, information and entertainment from the print
media
- Provides services to blind, low
vision and physically disabled people
- Uses volunteer readers in studios in Raleigh to reach
20,000 listeners in 20 counties.
Reaching Out
The TRRS broadcast signal covers the entire counties of Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Durham, Granville, Harnett, Lee, Moore, Orange, Person, Randolph, and Wake. It can also be heard in significant parts of Cumberland, Franklin, Guilford, Hoke, Johnston, Montgomery, Nash, Rockingham, Vance and Warren Counties.
TRRS loans out specially tuned SCA receivers, free of charge to those living in the broadcast area.
To apply for a special receiver call the TRRS office (919) 832-5138. Additionally, the TRRS signal is broadcast:
- On Time Warner cable in Raleigh and Community Access TV in Cary, Garner and
Apex
- On the in-house cable systems at Rex Hospital, Duke University Medical Center, UNC Memorial
Hospitals, Wake Medical Center, the VA Hospital, Raleigh Community Hospital, and Croasdaile Village Retirement
Center.
Ways You Can Help
TRRS depends entirely on financial contributions from local governments, United Way, civic organizations, and individuals.
As TRRS is not available through an ordinary FM radio, listeners are loaned specially tuned receivers that cost TRRS about $25 each. They are provided free of charge to those living in the broadcast area, although some listeners contribute as they are financially able.
- Your Contacts
Tell TRRS about friends and family members who could benefit from the Reading Service. Also tell your friends, neighbors and associates about this worthwhile program and encourage them to support it with their time, talent and
donations.
- Your Time
Become a TRRS volunteer. Assist with on-air reading, engineering, scheduling, fund raising, public outreach and other projects. Training programs
are offered to all
volunteers.
- Your Donations
Become a TRRS supporter. Send your tax-deductible gift to the Triangle Radio Reading Service. A $100 donation will purchase 4 special TRRS receivers for 4 listeners. A donation of $400 provides the operating funds for one full day of broadcasting.
You may also phone in a contribution to be charged to a credit card.
