I didn't know that. Sound like bad news for human
captioners. :-(
You might complain to PBS (WGBH? do they still
process all the PBS CC?), but it's like spitting into the wind.
I agree. I have all but abandoned hope on complaining
about captioning. I only mentioned it along with the other
issues to remind people that badly done captioning is still
a problem in some programs.
That said, there has been progress. E.g. about four
years ago, Washington Week in Review finally stopped
systematically obscuring their on-screen text with their
captions.
The other issues just seem so glaring (at least on my
TV) that I'm mystified that buyers would accept them. Do
film schools not teach these things? The marketplace
certainly doesn't seem to be consistently punishing them.
