Did you know that Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services Division provides a grant funded by the Minnesota Department of Commerce – Telecommunications Access Minnesota that supports captioning for "Almanac" and "Almanac at the Capitol"?

"Almanac" is a public affairs show that covers different topics affecting Minnesotans across the state. Almanac is broadcast on your local PBS station every Friday at 7 p.m.

"Almanac at the Capitol" is a great way to stay on top of what is happening with laws and bills during the legislative session. Almanac at the Capitol airs on Wednesdays at 7 p.m.

Both programs are rebroadcast and also available to watch on demand on TPT's website.

You can learn more about DHHSD's real-time captioning of live television news on the grant's webpage.

If you have questions about captioning, please feel free to contact us!
