It is available to listeners 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, via a specially tuned low frequency radio receiver, provided at no charge to listeners, or through the WUSF-TV Channel 16 SAP option.

The WUSF Radio Reading Service broadcasts many local and national newspapers, an extensive selection of current magazines, and many unique programs, such as:

-Grocery and department store ads
-Special announcements from the Library of Congress Talking Book Program
-Newsletters and updates from local/national organizations for the blind and visually impaired
