Chris McCausland on football commentary: 鈥楤roadcasters need to pull their finger out鈥�
Chris McCausland is a blind stand-up comedian who is urging broadcasters to 鈥榠mplement something鈥� that gives blind people easier access to radio commentary that syncs up with TV pictures.
Chris told 5 Live鈥檚 Nihal Arthanayake that audio commentary is his 鈥減referred method of listening鈥� because it鈥檚 more descriptive, but his daughter wants to watch games on TV. It means he has to either listen in a different room, or share the moment with her without knowing what鈥檚 going on.
鈥淚 bring my daughter up as a Liverpool fan and I get her to cheer when they鈥檝e scored, but she doesn鈥檛 get to learn about it first-hand.鈥�
He wants 鈥渙ther broadcasters to pull their finger out and implement something- [maybe] two commentary tracks from professional commentators鈥�.
