TORONTO, July 10, 2018 /CNW/ - Accessible Media Inc. (AMI) announced today that Season two of Eyes for the Job, the 13-part television series focused on home improvement and do-it-yourself projects starring Chris Judge and Alex Haider, will premiere on Tuesday, July 31, at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. ET on AMI-tv.
Produced by Clerisy Entertainment, Eyes for the Job is set in Halifax and features Nova Scotian co-hosts Chris Judge and Alex Haider. A lifelong handyman and do-it-yourself enthusiast, Chris brings a unique perspective to the program: he is blind. Working alongside Chris is Alex Haider, who shares Chris' creativity and enthusiasm and boasts some serious social media and outreach know-how. Together, they'll inform, entertain and inspire viewers to expand their DIY abilities in new and exciting ways.
In Season two, Chris steps up his DIY game. He's started a community workshop in the heart of the city and has the space, tools and materials for some seriously cool creations. With Alex by his side, Chris tackles several projects both in the workshop and in the community, with help from friends.
"Lifestyle programming is a burgeoning television genre; our viewers can't get enough of it," says John Melville, Vice-President, Programming and Production, AMI-tv. "We can't wait for the blind and partially sighted community to dive back into Chris' world and be motivated to take on their own DIY projects."
In keeping with AMI's mandate of making accessible media for all Canadians, Season two of Eyes for the Job features Integrated Described Video (IDV), where Chris and Alex describe their actions and surroundings during filming to make the program accessible to individuals with vision loss.
"Following the success of Season one of Eyes for the Job, we're excited to expand Chris and Alex's world in Season two," says Dale Stevens, Producer for Clerisy Entertainment. "With IDV, we've created a show that is entertaining and informative to everyone, regardless of ability."
Beginning on July 31, Eyes for the Job airs Tuesdays at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. ET on AMI-tv. Check your local listings for the AMI-tv channel in your area or use AMI's online channel guide. Episodes will be available online after the initial broadcast.
