Real Time Captioning of Local News The commissioner of human services is required to work with TV stations to make live local news accessible to individuals who are deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing. The commissioner provides grants for real time captioning in non-emergency broadcasting, commercial broadcasts in Minnesota where broadcasters do not have to provide live closed-captions, and large-market noncommercial broadcasters who produce live news programs. Real time captioning is prepared and transmitted at the same time as the broadcast by specially trained captioners.
