>From a colleague ...  Begin forwarded message: 

Here's a forward of this article from the main page of the ADP website ( <http://acb.org/adp> http://acb.org/adp)! Any circulation you can give it will be appreciated, as well as your individual responses. 

FCC Seeks YOUR Input on "Video Description" 
IMPORTANT!!! VERY FEW RESPONSES - 
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!!! 
In preparation for a report to Congress, the FCC is soliciting input on "recent developments in the video description marketplace." Those topics which apply to consumers are as follows: 


* The amount and types of programming described, including children's programming and specific examples of what is watched. 
* The extent to which household members, both visually impaired or not, watch described programming. 
* The ease with which consumers can access online guides, and how well the networks inform you of their described programming. 
* How well are networks making available Video-On-Demand of previously described programming? 
* Are there "any data points that quantify or otherwise capture the benefits of video description for audiences"? 
* Other questions are primarily for networks to answer. 

This is an extremely important opportunity for each individual who enjoys the benefits of described television programming to provide input! Failing to respond means you are willing to let others decide how much described programming you receive. PLEASE take the time to read the following document and provide your input. FCC 11-43 Document< <https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-19-40A1.pdf> https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-19-40A1.pdf>.
