Valley Eye Radio Inc.

Valley Eye Radio, a member of MAIN (Massachusetts Audio Information Network), is a free radio reading service that broadcasts accessible readings from local newspapers, other publications and features specifically for local residents in the Pioneer Valley in Western Massachusetts who are blind or print impaired.

These neighbors rely on our 100 volunteers to help maintain their quality of life, connection to their communities and their independence, without which they are at risk of isolation and depression. 

Our station’s diverse array of programming ensures that visually and print impaired residents can access our important local, state, and national news content, as well as get other feature news programming in a similar way to their non disabled friends and neighbors.

We broadcast news and information that often isn't available online or from standard radio and TV news and is solely for those unable to read print material independently.

Eligible listeners can hear about local city and town news and events, sports updates, veterans news and outreach, business news, the daily obituaries, supermarket sales ads, health news updates from authoritative sources, programs related to issues important to seniors and so much more.

We have also gone beyond reading local newspapers to "bring" our listeners to community events, forums and webinars that provide even more information than ever before that relates to them and their specific needs, information that may not available from any other source. 

As we always will, we bring, the human connection and voices of our manydedicated volunteers who for years have teamed up to keep our listeners informed.

They care. They know what a difference they are making in the lives of our listeners who are their friends, neighbors and relatives who just need to get their news and information in different ways and to stay connected despite life's challenges.

Eligible listeners or their caregivers can contact us to learn how to access our free broadcasts from specially tuned radios, smart speakers, online streaming or through their mobile phone.

Thank you so much for your support!!
