Litton ‘Ocean Mysteries’ To Offer Video Descriptions

Litton Entertainment  today announced a partnership with New York based Bridge Multimedia to provide the incorporation of video description in the first 26 episodes of Ocean Mysteries with Jeff Corwin, one of the six E/I (educational/informational) programs currently featured on Litton’s Weekend Adventure airing nationally on ABC television stations.

Funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, video description provides enhanced detail of a program’s visual content and is inserted during existing pauses in the show’s audio track. This enhancement makes television programming more accessible to a wide range of viewers including those with learning disabilities, autism, viewers who are visually impaired and English language learners.

Ocean Mysteries with Jeff Corwin is produced in partnership with Georgia Aquarium, the world’s largest aquarium and a leading educational facility dedicated to conserving the vast resources of the world’s oceans, offering its own platforms specifically created for those with learning challenges.
