It's understandable that Wgbh wouldn't not have the audio description, since
that's where it started. Holly, with the app we're still getting the audio
description, and we don't have the pbs passport. Again, we're not getting the
audio description by way of tv antena or cox cable, jst getting the audio
description by way of the pbs app.

Subject: Re: country music dvds on PBS
I think I responded to this thread some time last week. I had thought it
would be a good series. So I'd bought the season pass on iTunes. But then,
following a suggestion made on this list, I downloaded the PBS APP and the
first four episodes were available with audio description even without the PBS
Passport for supporting the local station. The reason the audio was described
is because my local station is WGBH in Boston which wouldn't dare not describe
because of the large blimd community here. Bottom line: audio description is
in the control of your local PBS channel. That’s really sad. But I think it’s
true.
Peace & Blessings,

Hi Arlene:
I just opened the PBS video app to find tonight’s episode five. Looks like
the powers that be have made tonight’s audio described version available only
to people who join PBS passport, which is only for people who donate to PBS.
This makes me furious!
Our local station won’t carry the audio description, and now we can’t even
get it on our phones.
This is obvious discrimination!
