Yes. On January 1st, 2006, the FCC mandated that all new television programming be captioned. Seventy-five percent of pre-rule programming (programming shown before January 1st, 2006) had to be captioned by 2008. A hundred per cent of new Spanish language programming must be captioned by 2010. For a complete set of deadlines, visit the FCC Consumer Facts on closed captioning at www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/closedcaption.html.
