@able_NZ love your work. Why is TVNZ news on One, not captioned. It is particularly tricky to do? It just seems like it would be an obvious choice. Thanks 🌻

@custardsqiggle Kia ora, thanks for your kind words! We actually do caption it (we do ~95% of possible content on TVNZ these days), so if you're watching it through the TV channel (TVNZ 1) - you'll be able to turn them on. Due to tech constraints, live captions aren't available on the TVNZ+ app.

Lol if the robots are planning to take over the world they're going to need to learn different accents. Nice one, @twitter technology!

The Spinoff@TheSpinoffTV·
Around 40% of us regularly use closed captions when watching TV. Accessibility is huge – but are our broadcasters getting it right? thespinoff.co.nz/media/16-05-20…

@robert_cameron @TVNZ Kia ora Robert, there was a technical fault that prevented the captions we provided from being broadcast until 6.23. We are investigating the source of the disruption. Ngā mihi nui.

There's never been a better time to normalize open captions. Put subtitles on everything! They simply make movies more accessible and legible - something everyone that loves movies should want
Paste Magazine@PasteMagazine

Coda will break ground by screening in all theaters with open captions. But after a year of watching movies at home, now's the perfect time to push for more - for all movies. @JacobOller makes the case: bit.ly/2VAxtYV

@angelamayl @TVONENZ Sorry about captions missing for the first few minutes of 1 News at 6 on Monday night. TVNZ had a technical issue which they were able to rectify fairly promptly.
