It’s a simple solution to a longstanding problem – how can a blind person enjoy watching television when they can’t see what’s happening on the screen?
The answer is, you tell them.
The Government covered the cost of the start up for both SBS and ABC, handing each national broadcaster two million dollars to establish the service.
But Communications Minister Paul Fletcher says now that its been launched, it’s up to both broadcasters to continue the new service.
And for the broadcasters' part, being involved in such a socially impactful service is rewarding.
