All,

I'm sorry, but I'm not permitted to release any more information than I
already have. There is a new company planning to release a radio virtually
the same as the Narrator, but they haven't gone public yet. You can't
pre-order at this time.

The Narrator was discontinued by Best Buy because they didn't feel they
could sell enough of them to make it worth their while. iBiquity, the
company that licenses all HD technology then went looking for a new
manufacturer. They found one, and licensed the same design. We are hopeful
that this new company will stay in the market longer.

That's all I can legally say.

I'll post here and elsewhere as soon as I'm allowed to do so.

Bill

Bill,

What is the name of that other company and do you know what the radio will
be called? Is there a way to pre-order the radio now? Why was the Insignia
Narrator discontinued? If I am reading the web pages correctly it was only
released in 2012. Sorry for the multiple questions!

Duane

The radio Ted speaks of is the Narrator from Best Buy. It has been
discontinued, however, a new virtually identical radio is expected to be
released by a different company in January. It does indeed tell you what
station you are on as you tune up or down. It also has presets, a talking
alarm clock and other nice features.

Jerome:
While I have never heard or seen a radio that called out the name of a
station as you tuned, I do know of one HD receiver (the name of which
escapes me now, but it's the one that the Sun Sounds Radio Reading Service
in Arizona provides to its blind and visually impaired listeners) that
will
call out the frequency and which numbered digital channel you are on as
you
move up and down the dial.
