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: https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-expands-audio-description-video-content-more-tv-markets-0. For general information from the FCC about audio description, please visit their webpage: https://www.fcc.gov/audio-description.
