Caption certification

Federal Communications Commission regulations require closed captions for certain content that appeared on television in the United States on or after 30 September 2012. If your content does not require captions, you can inform us by selecting a certification.

Note: If we receive a complaint regarding the availability of captions, we may ask you to update this certification info.
