Cable Television Moves to the Internet. Any Captions?

By , About.com Guide   June 26, 2009

Follow me on:

Both Time Warner and Comcast have announced that they are going to be making cable television content available on the Internet. Will this cable television content have captions online?? This service, called TV Everywhere, could catch on, leaving deaf and hard of hearing people forced to pay full price for cable subscriptions and unable to take advantage of online viewing options. Details are in this CNN.com article, "Cable departs from Hulu model with 'TV Everywhere'."

I’ve mentioned about this over a year ago and I wouldn’t be surprised when this merge comes to internet from cable, captioning will be affected.
Nad has been sleeping too long to make the changes.
