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.
