Here are a couple of documents pertaining to the 2001 license renewal of the CTV television network by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, with a focus on audio description.
- News, August 2001: CTV’s and Global’s licenses were renewed, with requirements for captioning and audio description. See the summary
- My intervention in the license renewal of CTV
- A semi-secret CRTC document on audio description, “Current Domestic and International Status of
Descriptive Video,” made available with corrections and clarifications
- A transcript of my oral intervention in the CTV hearings (2001.04.23)
- Previously, I exhaustively catalogued commitments to and requirements for captioning and audio description on new Canadian digital specialty channels
- Even before that, I had written a guest editorial for the Toronto Star predicting that the CRTC would blow it in accessibility requirements for new digital stations. And of course I was right
