The number of programs offering this has been increasing, and the SAP channel has now begun carrying automated “text-to-speech” read-outs of severe weather warnings and similar emergency information. The main reason we carry this alternate “SAP” channel is for verbal descriptions for the visually-impaired. Because most shows and commercials have no secondary audio program at all, and because the TV defaults back to primary audio when there is none, your TV could have been set to this for a long time with no apparent problem prior to this time. If you are hearing Spanish (or Visual Descriptions or Text to Speech), it is because your TV has been set to receive the Secondary Audio Program (SAP), when it is available.
