Many have been asking if there would be live audio description for President Jimmy Carter’s funeral on Thursday, January 9th. The short answer is Yes, and the details that are available are below:

The NBC news coverage with live audio description will begin with the coverage at the Washington National Cathedral at roughly 9:15 to 9:30 AM Eastern time on NBC. 

Here’s a partial schedule of events beginning with the National Cathedral on Thursday morning, January 9:

*	9:30 a.m.: Carter's remains and family members arrive at the Washington National Cathedral.
*	9:55 a.m.: Carter’s remains are brought into the cathedral during a brief arrival ceremony.
*	10 a.m.: National funeral service.
*	11 a.m.: Departure from the Washington National Cathedral.
*	11:15 a.m.: Motorcade leaves for Joint Base Andrews, Maryland.
*	11:45 a.m.: Late president and family members arrive at Joint Base Andrews and board Special Air Mission 39.

The live audio description coverage on NBC will be provided by Descriptive Video Works. If you experience any issues with audio description coverage, you can send email to adfeedback at nbcuni.com <mailto:adfeedback at nbcuni.com> . 

Please feel free to report in with additional sources of audio description if you should discover any other coverage. Also, share how the description in your area is coming through on your local affiliate.

I am not exactly certain at what time the audio description coverage will stop, but shortly following the funeral ceremony at the National Cathedral is anticipated.

Our thanks again to NBC News and Descriptive Video Works for this coverage of a major national event.
