The decisions to increase captioning and AD follow a recent review of Channel 4 services, with the channels involved including Channel 4 itself, More 4, E4 and Film 4.The current levels of captioning mandated on these channels by the UK communications regulator Ofcom are 90%, 35%, 60% and 35% respectively. The captions will also be available on Channel 4’s 4oD service and other online content.
The announcement has been welcomed by the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID). For more information see the RNID website.
