In Connecticut, we have CRIS.  They are based out of Wethersfield, at the 
Connecticut Foundation for the Blind.  The broadcast on an SCA, out of 
Hartford, with Bridgeport simulcasting.  I believe they may also have 
stations in Danbury and other areas.  At one time, there was a proposal to 
have all the PBS Radio stations in CT distribute this service.  I am not 
sure of its current status.
