<p dir="ltr"> For anyone here who has Cox Cable, are you getting the audio description on NBC which should be channel 12? We aren't so if you are, or you're getting it on another local channel please tell me what that is. We'd love to get it through our surround sound and our TV since we don't have peacock and don't really want it.</p>
