July 1 is a big day when it comes to video description on television, as

stations in 35 additional markets will now be required to carry described

programs.

NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX stations in the top 60 television markets are

required by law to carry at least 50 hours of described programming each

quarter, or roughly 4 hours per week. In addition, the top five cable

television networks are also bound by this requirement, meaning most
cablesystems, regardless of location, are also required to carry
describedprograms. An FCC order  released today outlines changes that will
takeeffect in July, including the addition of the History Channel and
theremoval of Nickelodeon from the top five cable networks. This all means
thatin addition to new described programming, 35 additional television
marketswill now receive the described feed.

He sees the perils that are in our path that we cannot see. He speaks to us
in mercy and grace and He builds us up to meet the dangers and be prepared
to receive the things we could not wisely use today. There are many things
which we can employ tomorrow that we cannot wisely use today.
