2RPH Christmas appeal
Wed, 12 December 2018
This year 2RPH has introduced a Christmas Appeal to help listeners and supporters of the station contribute to the radio reading service in small (or big) ways.
Through Good Company, the Christmas Appeal gives a number of options for people to invest in the service.
***
We read to those that can't. Radio 2RPH is a reading service that brings enabling, informative, educational and entertaining published material directly to the listener. The service features readings from the top daily newspapers, international and Australian magazines, and books for those with print disabilities, lack of access to published material or lifestyles that limit time for reading and remaining informed.
Broadcasting to the wider Sydney basin and Newcastle region on AM (1224) and FM (100.5) frequencies, and in Sydney on 2RPH Digital, we also partner with the Blue Mountains, Bathurst and Wagga Wagga. Additionally, 2RPH is part of the national RPH radio reading network.
Skilled and dedicated volunteers from all walks of life, read from the Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian Financial Review, The Daily Telegraph and the Newcastle Herald, and articles from periodicals such as the New Yorker, History Today, Spectator, Women’s Weekly and Frankie. Book readings for all ages are extremely popular as are readings on topics such as food, health, the arts, sport, entertainment, current affairs and religion.
