      You are technically correct - the best kind of correct! (Futurama quote, meaning I appreciate your correction.)

      It’s probably not an issue for a station that simply doesn’t have that level of captioning, yet.

      But I take your point - it would likely be a violation if they had that captioning and tried to monetize it. (In my far more informed opinion than that of a couple of asshats who were replying to me in this thread.)

        So why does that apply to OTA, but not their website or other delivery methods…?

        Your “laws” seem to have lots of exceptions when you need them to. But also, not surprisingly, very easy to find the flaws since they don’t exist and you’re not smart enough to think of these yourself apparently….
