Broadcasters — including their primary lobby group in Washington, D.C., and affiliate associations — have told the FCC that if it does not extend its waiver of the requirement to provide oral descriptions of weather radar and other visual emergency information, they may have to cut back on those graphics for everyone.
The National Association of Broadcasters asked the Federal Communications Commission for another waiver — for two years — of the requirement that TV stations provide aural descriptions of non-aural emergency information, which was originally to have gone into effect in 2015.
