Well, my grandma always says the Spanish-speaking stations' news broadcasts say things about any given story that the English-speaking stations leave out. I don't know if it's because Univision knows more or if it's because they know they can make stuff up because the FCC doesn't bother with them. Either way, I'd love to know just what they're saying that Grandma finds so fascinating.

I don't exactly know how that would be fair seeing as how not every program which is close captioned carries an SAP signal, which would enable it to subtitle in an alternate language.
Besides that, have you ever noticed how many mistakes are made in the close-captions? I don't think it's exactly fair that a hearing-impaired individual has to suffer through the sloppy transcriptions and grammatic errors!
Finally, what programs on Telemundo and Univision are you dying to watch so badly that you want them transcripted in English? Please don't say you like Christina?

the problem is that the language used in some spanish speaking stations is that they get away with the use of "inappropriate" language. the fcc is too busy busting the howard sterns and oppie & anthony types. so i guess YES!

You have got a point there.Since we are forced to endure every
election ballot, every driver license handbook etc. printed in English and Spanish both, it would be only fair since they are on our paid satellite service, to demand translations into English. A great idea. Many shows on our major networks are available in Spanish.

No. As long as they keep their darned Spanish commercials off the English stations. If I want to hear Spanish, I'll go to their station but I don't want it shoved down my throat on an English station.

No, that's silly. What about people who don't speak Spanish or English? Do they need closed-captioning in every human language? If people want to watch those channels and understand them, they need to learn Spanish.

not unless english shows should be forced to have closed captioned Spainish, and what about all the other languages spoken in America, it is "the boiling pot" I think you should have the option to have closed captions on your tv

I think there's enough 'diversity' on cable as it is. People need to grow up.
