      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 substantially professionally trained but still non-expert opinion.)

        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….

          As an actual subject matter expert sharing some perspective, I just want you to know:

          You can go fuck yourself.

            You’re not sharing a perspective when you’re just talking out of your ass and not supporting anything you’ve claimed.
