Are you familiar with IP-delivered programming? This includes all videos that are distributed via the Internet (where you watch the program on your personal computer, cell phone, Xbox, etc.) The most popular sources are video on demand, iTunes, Hulu, and of course, YouTube. If you are a producer and you think your IP-delivered programming is exempt from closed captioning, think again! The FCC released new rules this year which requires all IP-delivered programming to be closed captioned, according to the following timeline:

• All prerecorded programs must have CC by August 2012.
• All live programs must have CC by February 2013.
• All new prerecorded programs must have CC by August 2013.
• All archived programs must have CC by February 2014.

Don’t wait until the last minute! Call Aberdeen today to learn more about your closed captioning options.
