US cable TV provider agrees to address captioning problems

no

Cable TV provider Comcast will review and improve its captioning testing procedures after reaching a compliance agreement with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) over the captioning capabilities of their set-top boxes.

In 2010 the FCC launched an investigation into the cable TV provider Comcast, following complaints that the company’s set-top boxes were not passing through closed captions.
