FCC Requirements

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) now requires all televisions (including digital television) to contain a built-in decoder to display closed captioning.  Twenty hours of television programming per day is required to be closed captioned.  The FCC also requires that all new programming (with a few exceptions) must be captioned.
