Hello, and welcome to
this ASL podcast.
I am one of your hosts.
My name is Lori Mallory.
Today we will be talking about "Filing Closed Captioning Complaints".
You probably already know about closed captioning. Closed captioning allows persons who are deaf or hard of hearing to have access to television programs by displaying the audio portion of a television program as text on the television screen.
Beginning in July, 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) required all analog television with screens 13 inches or larger to contain built-in decoder circuitry to display closed captioning. Beginning July 1, 2002, the FCC also required that digital televisions (DTV) include closed captioning display capability.
In 1996, Congress required video programming distributors, such as cable, satellite , and other multi-channel video programming distributors to close caption their television programs. In 1997, the FCC set a transition schedule requiring distributors to provide an increasing amount of captioned programs. Different closed captioning schedules apply to English and Spanish language programming.
As of January 1, 2006, all “new” English language programming, defined as analog programming first published or exhibited on or after January 1, 1998, and digital programming first aired on or after July 1, 2002, must be captioned, with some exceptions. As of January 1, 2008, 75% percent of “pre-rule” English language programming, now increasing the amount of shows with captions, defined as analog programming first shown before Jan 1, 1998, and digital programming first shown before July 1, 2002, must be captioned, with some exceptions.
Because captioning is newer to Spanish language program providers, the FCC allowed them a longer time to provide captioned programming. As of January 1, 2010, all “new” Spanish language programs must be captioned, with some exceptions.
