12's Lack Of Closed Captioning
With the massive losses, apparently the person in charge of closed captioning was laid off as well. 12's running a back to back low grade paid program for a spine doctor without closed captioning. This would never happen with the old owners. The channel looks worse than the Alpena ABC station.
turn up the radio! mighty in might!

Re: 12's Lack Of Closed Captioning
Is it mandatory for commercials, including infomercials, to have closed captioning? I noticed some commercials have them and some don't.
Re: 12's Lack Of Closed Captioning
Going to file a complaint to the FCC I know broadcasters can get fined for it by the FCC. I know Sinclair got fined $48 million dollars I know some thought it wasn't enough in 2017.

This is what happens when you have an absentee Chief engineer.

Re: 12's Lack Of Closed Captioning
Most stations use an "off-site" company to provide closed captioning for locally-produced newscasts.
They listen to the newscast via a dial-up listen line and caption the newscast in real time.

Re: 12's Lack Of Closed Captioning
So your answer is to try and get them fined verses calling and asking what the deal is? Seems a bit over the top, dramatic, and extremely counter productive for someone who clearly follows them like a hawk. Good God

I wouldn't file a complaint to The FCC for those that are passionate about it and have too time on their hands have at it.Jack5o2soco wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 1:42 pm So your answer is to try and get them fined verses calling and asking what the deal is?
