Eight COAT Affiliates on New FCC Technical Group to Work on Captioning and Video Description Problems in Digital TV Transition

As a result of COAT advocacy efforts, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) set up a new working group in May 2009 to help resolve closed captioning and video description problems in the digital TV transition. COAT affiliates will attend the meetings with industry and federal representatives. COAT affiliates involved are American Council of the Blind, CaptionMax, Communication Service for the Deaf, Hearing Loss Association of America, National Captioning Institute, National Center for Accessible Media at WGBH, Northern Virginia Resource Council for Deaf and Hard of Hearing, and VITAC. First meeting is Monday May 18 at the FCC in Washington, DC. More information in FCC Public Notice
