[Nfb-web] Info on Described Inaugural Coverage/PBS and Web

[Peter Donahue]

Good morning everyone,

    This is one server destine to be over-loaded fast. We enjoyed inaugural 
ceremonies prior do description and this one will be no exception. I'm 
listening to it on NPR and the commentary and description being given by the 
commentators works fine for Mary and myself. As for the audio description 
we're not going to fool with it. But thanks for the information anyway.

Hello.  Sorry for duplicate postings, but wanted to make sure those on this 
list know that WGBH will be providing descriptive narration of Inaugural 
coverage on PBS from 11AM to 1:30 PM via the SAP channel on stereo-equipped 
televisions.

And this year, for the first time, that description coverage will also be 
available via a full audio stream on the Joint Congressional Committee on 
Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC) web site,

http://inaugural.senate.gov/

Thank you,
Mary
