Actually, Amazon has an amazing number of Audio Described content.
I am still planning to cut the cord here. Just certain other issues have gotten the way so far.

Rick, I don’t want to create fake news so there is my disclaimer. I think that cable gives more audio described and I’ve been more than pleasantly surprised of the number of shows. I have Comcast and more than second by their ability to just raise your prices well over $10 at any time. I would like to find a better set up. Another thing is a completely live through the DVR and the power of the fast forward button so I don’t have to do all of the commercials. So there you go. Hope that helps Tom
