PITTSBURGH - Charges have been brought against Showtime Networks Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania by two men who say that Showtime violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by not having audio description tracks for video content to serve the blind and visually impaired people who want to use the platform.
Pennsylvania residents Robert Jahoda and Matthew Kolesar are two legally blind individuals who are frustrated with Showtime and haven t given the platform their patronage since it does not offer the audio description service, which is offered by competing streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu.
