All shows on Apple TV Plus will have audio description. (self.Blind)
submitted by rkingett
In Apple's many press materials, and on Twitter, link below. Apple TV Plus will have all shows, and trailers, audio described. I'm not sure what the, in 8 languages bit, means below, but have fun reading!

Awesome news! Hopefully Disney Plus follows suit.

I was under the impression it was already planned to have all original content described.

I haven't heard that but that does sound very Disney. But I couldn't find any announcement.

Likely this means all original programs and not all shows period.
Second the eight languages means audio description will be available in seven other languages other than english.

I assumed all content on Apple TV Plus was original work and not any third party offerings. The third party stuff will come from Apple TV channels, not plus. But yeah, after looking at that press release a few more times I now think it means they will have multi language options for audio description.

Apple TV Plus will only consist of original shows that are not available elsewhere. This is why the cost ($4.99US per month) is so much lower than competitors like Netflix.

From my understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong), it looks like the originals will all be audio described, but didn't specify either way about other shows?

Apple TV Plus will have original programming only. But, if a service like CBS Access has audio description, Apple TV channels, which is their Apple skin to all these third party services, will detect that and pass the AD through. I'm excited about it because I won't have to download separate apps for TV channels, it will all be right there. That is, until companies get tired of giving Apple a cut of subscribers. Until then, though. I will enjoy it while it lasts.
