[Blindtlk] Accessible News Apps

[Mike Freeman]

NBC Nightly News is quite accessible. CBS apps are a bit awkward but can be
gotten around. NPR News is superb. So is Hourly News. I'm allergic to Fox so
don't know how accessible its app is. The local fox station app for
Portland, Oregon, Fox 12 to Go, is quite accessible. CSPAN Radio works quite
well. The CBS Radio News app, as I say, is a bit awkward as is the CBS TV
News app -- some unlabeled buttons and the screen refreshes a bit but they
can be used. Both ooTunes and TuneIn Radio cover feeds of all the All News
CBS Radio Stations and ooTunes also covers KQV All News Pittsburgh, Wyay,
Fox all-news Atlanta and WNEW 99.5 All News DC/Maryland and WTOP in DC.

HTH!

Mike

I have Newsline, and agree that it is a great app! What about the apps
from the TV news providers? Are the CBS, NBC or ABC apps accessible?
CNN? Fox News?

you pay a subscription fee you only get the beginning of each story.
