<br>
I want to express my thanks to NBC Universal and Comcast for making<br>
this accessibility to audio description for the Olympics available to<br>
the blind community for the first time. This is a tremendous step<br>
forward in access … and we look forward to continuing coverage of this<br>
type to come in the future.<br>

technologically advanced Olympics in history for Rio 2016. For fans<br>
