[NFBK] Fwd: [Tech-VI] Live Audio Description Will Be Provided by CBS for Pope Francis's Saturday Morning Funeral

[slery]

Will this only be for people that have cable subscriptions?

In the past, I have tried watching Jimmy Carter's funeral and the 
Thanksgiving parade and could not get AD. I have tried going through the 
websites and if it is partner with one of my streaming services also on 
there.
