first heard it, now it's just annoying!

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

 The I C.A.N.  Foundation helps blind and visually impaired youth 
in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through providing 
assistive technology and scholarships to camps and conventions 
which help them be equal with their sighted peers.  For more

Hello David and everyone,

You can't beat classical public radio for holiday music.  It's 
wonderful to
hear Handel's Messiah, Bach's Christmas Oratorio, and many more 
from
Christmases gone by especially when traditional holiday music 
gets old and
worn out.  All the best.

Peter Donahue who is tired of Grandma getting Run Over by a 
Reindeer and
Spike Jone's song about "The Devil in the Christmas Play." if you 
listen to
the words you'll understand why I changed one word from an angel 
to a devil.

Peter Donahue

Personally I think public radio has it all over commercial radio 
for
news -- and I used to work as a news writer, for an all-news 
station,
at the start of my career, KQV in Pittsburgh, PA.  Don't know if 
they
are still doing news, doubt it, pretty expensive for a low-watt
AM.  Our public station carries the BBC World Service overnight,
which I very much enjoy.

Hi, everyone.



To the extent that the blind satisfy the stereotype of radio 
junkies, the
following question is blindness-related - barely.



I, at least, *am* a news junkie.  I have all the "All-news" radio 
stations
of
which I know programmed into ooTunes on my iPhone.  These are the 
various
CBS
radio all-news stations, WTOP in Washington, D.C.  and KOMO in 
Seattle.



My question: does anyone know of other strictly all-news stations 
in the
United States? "News-talk" stations don't count in my book as 
also the
various NPR stations don't count - great as they are.  The CBS 
stations are:



WBBM, WBZ, WCBS, KYW, KNX, KCBS and WINS.  KFWB used to be 
all-news but has
gone news-talk since CBS owns it as well as KNX (KFWB used to be 
a
Westinghouse station when that corporation owned radio stations).



Any help or other strictly all-news stations are appreciated.



Oh yes - I know of CKWX and CFTR; dunno whether there are other 
Rogers
stations in Canada that are all-news.



Now I'll go away and return you to your regularly-scheduled 
blindness
discussions.
