TORONTO — Accessible Media Inc. (AMI) announced today two of its original series, Double Tap TV and Four Senses, and its original documentary White Cane Journeys are now available on CBC’s free digital streaming service CBC Gem.
AMI’s announcement comes during White Cane Week, which is celebrated during the first full week of February and “raises public awareness of the challenges facing Canadians living with vision loss and is marked by events across the country,” explains an AMI press release.
On Double Tap TV, veteran radio broadcaster Steven Scott (above, right) and producer and broadcaster Marc Aflalo (left) “help viewers better understand how technology can assist in everyday life,” says the press release.
On Four Senses, celebrity chefs Christine Ha (MasterChef) and Carl Heinrich (Top Chef Canada) “team up with special guests for an exciting cooking show with an accessibility twist.”
Two seasons of Double Tap TV and one season of Four Senses are currently available on CBC Gem, with more to follow, according to the press release.
Hosted by Laura Bain, the documentary White Cane Journeys follows “four Canadians at various stages of blindness as they learn to use a white cane” and explores “the impact of that transition on their navigation and life.”
“We are excited to have AMI programming available to viewers on CBC Gem,” said David Errington, president and CEO of AMI, in the release. “This is the next step in spreading the news about AMI and our mission to entertain, inform and empower Canadians who are blind or partially sighted.”
