FCC Approves Audio Description Item Early

The FCC unanimously approved an order Tuesday on expanding audio description requirements that had been set for Thursday’s commissioners' meeting. As expected (see 2310160038), the final item had little change from the draft version, and will phase in audio description requirements for an additional 10 designated market areas each year for 10 years, until the rules cover all 210 U.S. DMAs by 2035.
