Are you
really in compliance? The Telecommunications Act of 1996 mandates: Between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2005, a video programming distributor shall provide at least an average of 1350 hours of captioned video programming or all of its new nonexempt video programming must be provided with captions, whichever is less; and
now as of January 1, 2006, and thereafter, 100% of the programming distributor's new nonexempt video programming must be provided with captions.
Captivating captions and friendly courteous service is only a call away.
Because captioning is
fairly new to Spanish language program providers, the FCC allows them a
longer time to provide captioned programming. All Spanish language
programming that was first shown after January 1, 1998, must be captioned by
2010 with some exemptions. The following schedule applies to Spanish
language "new" programming, or programming shown after January 1, 1998:
January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2006: 900 hours of programming per channel
per quarter or all of the new, non-exempt Spanish language programming on
that channel, whichever is less.
January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2009: 1350 hours of programming per channel
per quarter or all of the new, non-exempt Spanish language programming on
that channel, whichever is less.
January 1, 2010, and thereafter: 100 percent of all programming, with some
exceptions. For Spanish language "Pre-Rule Programming" (first shown before
January 1, 1998) the following schedule applies: January 1, 2005, to
December 31, 2011: 30 percent of programming per channel per quarter.
January 1, 2012, and thereafter: 75 percent of programming per channel per
quarter.
