Honest question - why is this needed today? TVs all have closed captioning. Wouldn’t it be easier for the hearing impairec to just read what the Governor was saying?

Closed captioning is catch-as-catch-can. It's a worthy ttempt, but particularly for live events, its quality is pretty poor.

Please read my post #73. Our alphabet is phonic based and those deaf from birth have no reference to the phonic sounds. It is extremely difficult for them to learn to read.

CC is really poor especially live.
I have it on all the time, I hear some of it and read it and actually it can be pretty funny at times.
