Audio description is normally restricted to prerecorded programs due to the inevitable time delay associated with describing something live. However, the pair of describers have the assistance of a production team who will be able to provide research notes and details in real time, working off cues from the broadcast director. The AMI team has already researched areas such as the couple’s route to and from Westminster Abbey and potential guests.
The live audio description will be provided as a closed service to CBC (who will also provide closed captioning) and an open-audio described broadcast will be on The Accessible Channel using a simulcast of the CBC coverage.
