The data portion of a television program that is displayed onto television screens for the benefit of hearing impaired viewers who may have difficulty hearing and following along.
The text is displayed upon activation of the CC feature on remote controls thus providing a transcript of the on screen dialog.
Very similar in nature to Closed Captions, Subtitles offer the viewer information about programming from an indexing standpoint as well as chapter markers.
Some may refer to Subtitles as Closed Captions but technically they are not the same.

PAYMENT INFORMATION
Currently there are two categories of exemptions from the closed captioning rules, self-implementing and economically burdensome:
- Self-implementing exemptions include public service announcements shorter than 10 minutes and not paid for with federal dollars, programming shown from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m., and programming primarily textual. There is also an exemption for locally produced non-news programming with no repeat value. See a complete list of self-implementing exemptions.
- The FCC has established procedures for petitioning for an exemption from the closed captioning rules when compliance would be economically burdensome. Find out about the economically burdensome exemption.
- Even if a program or a provider is exempt under the Commission’s rules, it may still have obligations under other federal laws to make its video programming accessible to individuals with disabilities.

WHAT ARE SUBTITLES?
Very similar in nature to Closed Captions, Subtitles offer the viewer information about programming from an indexing standpoint as well as chapter markers.
Some may refer to Subtitles as Closed Captions but technically they are not the same.
FCC CLOSED CAPTIONING RULES

- Synchronous: Captions must coincide with their corresponding spoken words and sounds to the greatest extent possible and must be displayed on the screen at a speed that can be read by viewers.
- Complete: Captions must run from the beginning to the end of the program to the fullest extent possible.
- Properly placed: Captions should not block other important visual content on the screen, overlap one another or run off the edge of the video screen.
