Most entertainment featured on television is expressed both verbally and visually.
The verbal and visual reinforce one another. When this is not the case, a little imagination will often take care of filling in the gaps. When printed letters or numbers are used to save time and are not verbalized, this is a different story. This is when audio descriptions to explain part of what is on the television screen really matters, because there is no way to know a name, a phone number, or a brand of merchandise if it is not announced If the FCC wants to get into this area, then it should address the real problem, not the periphery. I will save you the time of re- reading the things in James Gashel s letter.
