Radio Show for the Blind

A new radio show aimed at Christians with disabilities has been launched by London's Premier Christian Radio in association with Torch Trust.

Hosted by blind presenter Marilyn Baker, the new Insight program was broadcast for the first time last Saturday evening at 9pm whic now becomes it's regular time slot.

Insight is aimed at people who have disabilities or people who are just interested and want to make a difference.

The first programme drew attention to Disability Sunday – which was 7th October – and talked to Paul Dicken, the founder of Through the Roof and Disability Sunday.

In Britain 9.5 million people are disabled -- that's more than 1 in 7.

Insight is to be the first program on Premier Christian Radio aimed specifically at listeners with disabilities, but the station has a long history of connecting with disabled people and often receives letters of support from the disabled community.

With Insight, Premier has designed a program that it is hoped will appeal to a wide range of disabled Christians. Marilyn Baker wants it to be the listeners show, hearing stories of people's faith, their struggles and achievements, and addressing topics that interest them."
