Subject: FCC Issues Reminder to Make Televised Emergency Information
Accessible to Viewers with Disabilities
On August 30, 2019, the FCC's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau
released a Public Notice to remind video programming distributors, including
broadcasters, cable operators, and satellite television services that
deliver video programming directly to the home, of their obligation to make
televised emergency information accessible to persons who are blind,
visually impaired, deaf, or hard of hearing.
This Public Notice also provides information for consumers about where they
can find more information about access to televised emergency information -
including an American Sign Language video at
<http://www.fcc.gov/TVEmergencyAccessASL> www.fcc.gov/TVEmergencyAccessASL
-- and how to file complaints when televised emergency information is not
accessible.
