Imagine that you are physically handicapped, elderly or ill and are unable to hold a book, magazine or newspaper. Imagine the joy in finding a free reading service available in the comfort of your own home. Now, public television KOCE has created a reading service for this special audience.
Hear & Now is the only free reading service in Orange and LA counties which enables its listening audience to hear the finest in literature, the latest bestsellers, popular magazine, and national and local newspapers without the need of a specialized radio receiver. Hear & Now is available free as a community service of KOCE public television on the station's Secondary Audio Program (SAP) channel. If you or someone you know can use this service or would like help as a volunteer, please contact Camille Dixon at (714) 895-5623.
