Take the TDI TV Captioning Survey<\/strong><\/p>\n

TDI is working on a new Universal Captioning Petition for Federal
\nCommunications Commission (FCC). TDI invites other consumer groups to join
\nin this petition such as American Association of Deaf Blind (AADB), American
\nAssociation of People with Disabilities (AAPD), Association of Late-Deafened
\nAdults (ALDA), California Coalition of Agencies Serving the Deaf and Hard of
\nHearing (CCASDHH), Communication Services for the Deaf (CSD), Deaf and Hard
\nof Hearing Consumer Advocacy Network (DHHCAN), Hearing Loss Association of
\nAmerica (HLAA) and National Association of the Deaf (NAD).<\/p>\n

TDI gratefully thanks Carol Harter, Carl Jensema, and Cliff Rowley of the
\nTucson Citizens for Better Captioning (TCBC), who has raised important
\nissues about the availability of real-time captioning for news and weather
\nprogramming outside the “Top 25” television markets, or Designated Market
\nAreas (DMAs). By gathering data from frustrated television viewers who
\ndepend on captioning, TCBC has demonstrated that grassroots advocacy on the
\nlocal level does have a major impact on national policy. TDI joins deaf and
\nhard of hearing viewers everywhere in advocating for more captioning.<\/p>\n

Before TDI can submit this petition to the FCC, we want to hear from you.
\nYour comments will help TDI further address the ongoing need to improve the
\nquality and availability of television captioning. This is your opportunity
\nto give your voice and ask the FCC to eliminate the three outdated
\nTV captioning waivers and exemptions for:<\/p>\n

* Programming that air between the hours of 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.<\/p>\n

* Commercials airing less than five minutes.<\/p>\n

* Live news programming in smaller television markets such as:
\no San Diego (CA) #28
\no Austin (TX) #44
\no New Orleans (LA) #52
\no Tucson (AZ) #67
\no Des Moines (IA) #73
\no Rochester (NY) #81
\no Madison (WI) #85
\no Sioux Falls (SD) #112
\no Erie (PA) #144
\no Eugene (OR) #118
\no and many other rural towns.
\no From: http:\/\/www.tvb.org\/rcentral\/markettrack\/US_HH_by_DMA.asp<\/a><\/p>\n

Your voice will tell the FCC that you want captions on all:
\n* TV shows, because captions will not bother others who are sleeping in the
\nmiddle of the night.
\n* TV commercials, because captions will help you learn more about products
\nand services on the market.
\n* TV newscasts in your hometown, because captions provide full access from
\nbeginning to end including news, weather and sports – just like the “Top 25”
\nmarkets anywhere in America.<\/p>\n

Please help TDI and other consumer groups by completing this survey, which
\nshould take you no more than five to ten minutes. Feel free to distribute
\nthis survey to your network so other people can respond. The survey will
\nclose Friday, November 12, 2010 at 8:00 p.m. EST. Be assured that all
\nanswers are strictly anonymous as we have absolutely no way of knowing who
\ncompleted any of the surveys.<\/p>\n
