Administration censorship hits Closed Captioning
"Without public notice, DoED changed its administration of captioning grants by convening a panel to determine that the 200 programs were not appropriate based on additional descriptive categories developed by Department personnel. NCD has learned from the panelists that they had no idea that they were being used for the purpose of cutting captioned
programming."
List of shows which were disapproved for funding for captioning based on content.
This change marks a shift from consumer approved to a private, closed-council approval process.
