[NFBMI-Talk] Fwd: Comcast + NBCUniversal | Tokyo Games with Audio Description and Captions

[Kane Brolin]

This is an item of general interest to anyone who interfaces with the
world nonvisually who is interested in getting a fuller word picture
of what is happening this week and next week in the Summer Olympic
Games.  This will apply mostly, it seems, to those who get their
television content via Comcast.  Sorry I noticed this announcement a
few days later than I should have.

Enjoy.
