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.

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.
