ACB Radio, a free internet radio service owned and operated by the American Council of the Blind, can now be heard live on any phone thanks to an innovative new service launched by PhoneAnything.
By dialling 0845 333 0855, UK callers can listen to a range of informative and entertaining programming provided by ACB Radio. ACB Radio Mainstream carries primarily spoken word content for those interested in blindness issues and life from a blindness perspective. The ACB Radio Cafe is the
place to hear blind musicians from around the world. The ACB Radio Treasure Trove plays the best in old time radio drama and comedy. While ACB Radio Interactive has more music, more variety and instant requests.
The service provides a fast and effective way for listeners to hear ACB Radio if they are on the move or unable to access the internet through a computer.
Dave Williams, Interim Director of ACB Radio, said "The
PhoneAnything ACB Radio service is an exciting new way for individuals to access ACB Radio. It allows us to reach the many people who do not have internet connections and who may have had difficulty accessing ACB Radio previously."
Stefan Haselwimmer, Managing Director of PhoneAnything, said
"PhoneAnything's technology provides instant access to internet audio streams through conventional telephones. The PhoneAnything ACB Radio service demonstrates how this technology can be used by internet radio stations to improve their service to existing listeners and to reach new listeners."
The American Council of the Blind is a consumer movement of blind and visually impaired people. Founded in 1961, the Council's main objective is to promote greater understanding of blindness and the capabilities of blind
people.
UK based PhoneAnything, develops telephone portal solutions for organisations wishing to offer products and services via the phone.
