The captioning of all Parliament TV’s broadcasts will provide better access for deaf and hearing impaired New Zealanders, say Broadcasting Minister Amy Adams and Disability Issues Minister Nicky Wagner.
“The captioning of Parliament TV is a valuable addition to the captioning landscape in New Zealand,” says Ms Adams.
“The Government, through NZ On Air, funds the charitable trust Able with $2.8 million a year to caption content on free to air TV.

The Government is welcoming NZ on Air’s decision to allocate a further $400,000 for increased TV caption and audio services.
NZ On Air will provide the additional funding to Able, a charitable trust which will deliver an increase in captioned and audio described content.
Broadcasting Minister Amy Adams says the funding will mean a greater number of programmes on free-to-air television will be accessible to the hearing and vision impaired.
