[NFBF-Melbourne] FW: [NFBF-L] Audio Description

[ctate2076 at att.net]

For interested members. Audio description is a feature we have been
advocating for a number of years. It makes it possible for us to better
enjoy movies and t.v. shows that are audio described.

FCC Adopts Audio Description Expansion and Modernizes Terminology


On October 27, 2020, the FCC released a Report and Order expanding the audio
description requirements by an additional 10 designated market areas each
year for the next four years.  In addition, the Report and Order modernizes
the Commission's terminology to use the more common and widely understood
term "audio description" rather than "video description." To access this
news release, report, and order, visit:
