[Electronics-talk] turning on SAP

[Gerald Levy]

To my knowledge, there are no FCC regulations that stipulate the amount of 
described programming that TV channels aare required to broadcast.  Advocacy 
groups for the deaf have succeeded in making closed captioning almost 
universal, yet advocacy groups for the blind can't seem to accomplish the 
same thing for described programming.
