[Electronics-Talk] SAP on PBS Country Music

[Tracy Carcione]

Our PBS channel is not broadcasting the descriptions, either.  It's odd,
because sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't.  And when we call them
to ask about it, they have no clue what we're talking about.  So much for
inclusion.
Someone said the PBS app had the descriptions.  Is that the free app, or the
one where you have to be a member?  I'm quite willing to be a PBS member, if
they're willing to broadcast audio descriptions whenever they're available.

Liz, we tried watching with the antena with our samsung tv, and didn't hear 
the describing, even though the audio description was set. Our pbs channel 
which is here in oklahoma city is one of those channels that doesn't air the

audio description on the audio described shows, which is disappointingly 
sad, and that's the case with our nbc channel, channel 4. I would love to 
hear that type of description that you said you were hearing on your 
channel, with the audio describing coming through. It would be so 
interesting to hear who was speaking and hear a description of the old 
pictures. I had an idea that the audio describing would be something like 
that..
