The future of subtitles is in your hands

In 1926 John Logie Baird enabled the very wealthy to access television. Television was an amazing breakthrough in technology at that time. Over the decades the technology has advanced from colour sets to HD quality and more recently 3D viewing. All of which can be accessible from the comfort of most homes. However the subtitling quality has failed to develop to the same standards.

Action on Hearing Loss are still on the case. Last July AOHL carried out a subtitling survey.  Now they are asking for your assistance to Influence the Communications Bill .

How? ......write to your MP

Let your MP know how important subtitles are to people with hearing loss and encourage your MP to champion the needs of people with hearing loss as the Government’s communications review progresses into the next stage.

Do remember to continue to complain directly to the broadcaster every time a problem with subtitling or background noise is experienced.
