RE: A Question about The Accessibility of the iOS CBS All Access Video Streaming Service
Hello Kevin, I apologize for the delay in my reply to your very gracious post. I think it is wonderful that you have a Facebook group dedicated to Audio Description topics. I am not a huge Facebook fan but the next time I'm online I will check out your group. Do you have a Twitter Feed? I find Twitter to be much more, quote, digestible, quote, than Facebook but that, of course, is just my opinion. Again, thank you for your very kind and thoughtful post. Mark -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Thompson Sent: Sunday, August 18, 2019 10:28 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: A Question about The Accessibility of the iOS CBS All Access Video Streaming Service Well, actually I am the creator, and moderator of a Facebook group called audio description discussion. This is a group that I created along with a friend of mine, Who is an actual narrator, about six months ago. We have over 100 members now, and all we discuss is anything, and everything as it relates to audio description. I don’t know if you are on Facebook, but if you are, you are more than welcome to join the group. If you send me your information, I can add you to the group. Or you can search for audio description discussion on Facebook. The audio description project which is another Facebook group, usually has an updated list of what shows are available with description. We haven’t really made any kind of official announcements on the group about CBS ALL ACCESS having shows with audio description, because CBS ALL ACCESS hasn’t made an official announcement that they have audio description for certain shows. And until they do, I thought it best to not post it to my group just yet. I wish you much luck, and success with signing up for CBS all access through the Apple TV app. And please let me know if you have any interest in the Facebook discussion group. Thank you very much for your response. Kevin T Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 18, 2019, at 11:37 PM, M.

Re: A Question about The Accessibility of the iOS CBS All Access Video Streaming Service
Hello, The only issue I have with signing up for this in the apple TB app is that the only option is the $9.99 a month. If you sign up thru the website there is a $5.99 option not found in the apple TV app. Greg Wocher > On Aug 19, 2019, at 1:28 AM, Kevin Thompson wrote: > > Well, actually I am the creator, and moderator of a Facebook group called > audio description discussion.

RE: A Question about The Accessibility of the iOS CBS All Access Video Streaming Service
Hello Kevin, Thank you so much for this information. I do really want to subscribe to CBS All Access but I am leaning towards doing so via the Apple TV app. I hate the idea of giving my payment info to yet another third-party company whereas Apple already has my info. Now that you have listed the current titles that actually offer descriptive video, the first thing I will do after subscribing via the TV app is to see if the audio description will work through the Apple stream. By the way, is there some place on the web that lists the offerings with current audio description? I look at the CBS All Access library list but did not see any info as to which shows offered the secondary audio track. Wish me luck and, again, thank you for the great information.

Re: A Question about The Accessibility of the iOS CBS All Access Video Streaming Service
Hello Mark, I have been a CBS all access subscriber since it started a few years ago. They have only recently started offering descriptive content as of this past Thursday, August 15. As of now, they only have three titles that have description. They are the twilight zone, Star Trek discovery, and the good fight. These are shows that are exclusive to the app. None of the actual shows on the CBS network, have descriptive content on the app. They only have about five, or six shows on the actual network that have description. But as I said, those shows don’t have description on the app yet. This is something that is very new, so I guess more shows will roll out description over time.
