Breakthrough Technology Provides TV Listings to the Blind

Free, On-Demand Service Available to Millions

Baltimore, Maryland (December 20, 2006): The
National Federation of the Blind has partnered
with Tribune Media Services to add television listings to NFB-NEWSLINE®,
the nation's largest on-demand news service for
the blind.  Beginning today, blind and visually
impaired Americans will have independent access to their
local TV listings, all in one place, only a telephone call away.

Eric Duffy, a Columbus, Ohio native and blind
parent of two children, said: "It is so important
to find quality television programming for young children.
Now I can choose appropriate TV shows for my
children, just like any other sighted parent."

Garrick Scott, of Atlanta, Georgia, hosts a
weekly sports talk show.  "Watching sports is a
huge part of my life, and this new capability makes it infinitely
easier to find what I want to watch," Scott said.

By simply entering the zip code, source of TV
reception, and time zone, blind users will have
quick and easy access to their local TV listings.  The listings
are interactive, as the user can navigate and
choose between date, time, and/or channel
listings.  After a user enters the local zip code, he or she is
presented with a list of cable and satellite
providers in the area.  The user can also
indicate the use of a television antenna.

Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National
Federation of the Blind said: "The sheer volume
of information that blind persons will now have access to is
astonishing.  Finally, blind television viewers
can find out what's on any channel, at any time, and within seconds. "

Over 50,000 NFB-NEWSLINE® subscribers already
enjoy the free electronic newspaper service which
carries 242 newspapers and magazines to 41 states and the
District of Columbia.  The New York Times, Wall
Street Journal, USA Today, and AARP The Magazine
are among the many national and local newspapers offered.
Subscribers have access twenty-four hours a day,
seven days a week, through a local or toll-free telephone number.

NFB-NEWSLINE® uses the Zap2it television
listings, a product of Tribune Media Services and
the leading source of entertainment listings in the country.

Individuals who are unable to read print due to a
physical disability are eligible for this free
service.  To register or to request more information, call
the National Federation of the Blind at (866)
504-7300, or visit them online at
