Hi Husna,
I beg to differ here. You have always been able to search for Audio
Described stuff on the digiguide web site http://www.mydigiguide.com. You
can search for up to two weeks' worth. Just put "Audio described" without
the quotes into the search box, and they will all come up. So no-one can
say this is the first official web site.
All the best

Subject: Seeking blind and partially volunteers to test the first ever
official audio description listings website
Hi,
The RNIB Broadcasting and Talking Images Team is working with the BBC on a
project to enable users of the website radiotimes.com to search for
programmes that are audio-described. This will be the first ever official
website with comprehensive listings that offers this search functionality.
We are now seeking blind and partially sighted volunteers who have internet
access to test the website and its new functionality and to give us their
users comments. Testing will be required towards the end of this month. The
BBC will supply test web addresses to those taking part and they will be
able to try out the searches on live listings on the site. Responses will be
collated and influence the development of the project.
If you are interested in participating in this project, then please send
your name and e-mail address to Caroline Taylor on
Caroline.Taylor@xxxxxxxxxxx by 15 January.
Thank you
Leen Petre
