ROLLING WITH THE RADIO
When Tucson Unified School District students return to school in August, they'll have a new companion if they ride the school bus...the radio.
The Arizona Daily Star reported over the weekend that TUSD has contracted with a national company to provide the service on 160 of the district's 250 bus routes. The service offers three distinct "screened" formats...elementary, middle school and high school.
The service is not commercial free, tough. Hey, nothing is free these days, but some critics say subjecting the kids to commercials on their way to school just isn't right.
The company simply is called "Bus Radio" and you can check out a live stream of the music here.
I sampled the music and it sounds pretty similar to Radio Disney, which has special edits of songs that normally have bad words.
What's next for school buses? Perhaps, seat belts.
