Hello all!

 

We just got word that we could announce this publicly - it has been so hard
biting my tongue for the last two days!

NBCU News Group will provide live audio description of the Special Report,
describing for blind and visually impaired viewers the visuals of the day's
events, provided by Descriptive Video Works on the Secondary Audio Program
channel (SAP) from 11 a.m. ET until approximately 2 p.m. ET.

 

Descriptive Video Works did the live description for the Macy's Thanksgiving
Parade this year, past Olympic and Paralympic coverage, and many other
special television events.

 

Cheers!

 

Melissa Hope
