Illegal Captions
Starting July 2009, Captioning SUCKS! will begin a campaign of lodging thoroughly researched and well-founded complaints against missing or inadequate captioning. Every TV broadcaster in Canada has been targetted. You’re next!
Complaints
- Rogers Broadcasting (CITY-TV, OLN). They’re busy:
- Providing no captioning at all.
- Destroying existing pop-on captioning for prerecorded fictional programming.
- Using real-time captioning for prerecorded (sometimes years-old) nonfiction programming.
- Using real-time captioning for prerecorded fictional programming.
- Airing programs with some other program’s captioning (yes).
