THE GLOBAL VOICE

Helping the World's Blind and Sighted Communities see Eye to Eye

The Global Voice, started on 1 May 2009, is a station primarily staffed by 
blind and visually impaired people, though not entirely; with a mission to 
help blind and visually impaired people integrate more into the mainstream 
of society through the medium of radio.  We are a global station running 24 
hours a day, 7 days a week, and being worldwide, we try our best to see that 
programs are repeated in such a way that they occur at prime times in well 
populated areas of the world.

In terms of our programming, we are a multi-format station with an emphasis 
on interactivity, streaming music, speech and programs in which the listener 
can let their voices be heard.

We have broadcasters from many parts of the world and have some programs in 
languages other than English.

Realizing that people these days like their radio on demand, we also have 
our Program Gallery where music programs are available for download for one 
week after streaming, and many of the talk programs are available for one 
year.

Our website is http://theglobalvoice.info where you can listen to, and learn 
more about our station and philosophy.
