rich kurlander here, I am an all access subscriber so that I can hear
college sports audio that some schools subscribe to. cstv.com is part
of cbs sports and they use microsilverlight 3.0 which is not
accessible with screen readers. there used to be a page
www.cstv.com/gametracker or www.cstv.com/media/livegame.htm which
would have the deep links so you could pick the game you want and it
would work with screen readers. this year silverlight player doesn't
work with screen readers and cbs cstv support doesn't know if they
will fix the page and they can't fix the player. I was told that jaws
11 would work with silverlight however windoweyes 7.1 doesn not and I
was told by gw micro that microsoft must fix silverlight. I think
that some in the nfb should get after cbs to fix cstv sports to make
their pages accessible since you charged $99 to get all access. every
year they change th player and it takes them if your are lucky to fix
the accessibility problem. this problem affects the audio that
colleges for any of their sports.
