[Ct-nfb] Blind Viewers Can Now Feel a Part of Olympics

[Jim McCollum]

Hello. 
The audio description was accessed by using the secondary audio, or SAP, on your remote control. If you have trouble finding it, your cable provider should be able to help you configure it. You can do this with any television program that's available with audio description. 
NBC did publicize the information that the Olympics would be audio described.
