As a service of the New Jersey Library for the Blind and Handicapped, Audiovision records and broadcasts readings from local newspapers and special interest programs. Audiovision is available without charge to any resident of New Jersey who lives within the Audiovision broadcast area and is unable to read standard print because of a visual or physical disability.
Each eligible listener is provided with a pre-tuned receiver. Audiovision may also be heard on a stereo TV or VCR with SAP (Second Audio Program) capability, broadcast via New Jersey Network (NJN) on UHF channels 23, 50, 52, and 58. NJN is also available through your local cable provider. Check your local cable guide for the specific NJN cable channel.
Audiovision airs seven days a week, 24 hours a day. The broadcast schedule features local programming Monday through Friday from 12pm to midnight. Additional programming is provided by other radio reading services from New York, Minnesota, Kansas, and Pennsylvania.
Newspapers and special interest programs are read by volunteers at our Mercer County studios. Volunteer opportunities for on-air readers, clerical assistants, and technicians are available.
Donations to Audiovision and the New Jersey Library for the Blind and Handicapped are welcome.
