The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted a Further
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on whether to expand its
audio description mandate to television stations in all Nielsen
Designated Market Areas (DMAs) by 2035.
Audio description benefits persons who are blind or visually impaired
by inserting narration for non-dialogue scenes during natural pauses
in a program's dialogue. Under the Twenty-First Century Communications
and Video Accessibility Act of 2010, the mandate applied to stations
in the top 60 DMAs. The FCC extended that mandate to 40 more markets
in 2020, adding 10 markets per year through 2024.
