A Grand Rapids company called Closed Captioning Services provides this captioning for us. A transcriber listens to the audio portion of the broadcast and transcribes the program using a machine similar to the one used by a court stenographer. Since the captioning is done live, you will notice some misspellings. Our live closed captioning is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
