A key prioirty for us was to ensure the switchover to Digital TV should not shut out blind and partially sighted people. We campaigned to ensure usability of all platforms at digital switchover in 2007-12 and significantly increase the usability and enjoyment of TV and AV materials.
Our campaign aimed to:
-
double audio description target on digital TV to 20 per cent
-
make being able to use and navigate digital TVs more accessible
Although we achieved our targets, we are continuing to monitor the broadcasters to make sure they live up to their 20 per cent commitments.
