"closed captions
Textual notations for the deaf at the bottom of the screen of TV programs and DVDs. Unlike foreign subtitles, which are created for people who can hear but not understand the spoken language, closed captions must include text that describes periodic background noises such as a barking dog, a sudden, loud noise from a vehicle or a gunshot."
I hope it helps.

Closed captioning is something on the TV that is usually used to help people who are hard of hearing watch TV. They are called "subtitles" in the UK.

closed captioning is a subtitle. like a DVD. yes, it is an advetisement for some companies. but it works in almost the same way as DVD subtitles, usually just a bit sloppier though, lol.

Closed captioning is subtitles on the screen for the hearing impaired. You have to turn that feature on in your television in order to see the sub titles.

Its used when you can't understand what a person is saying n a movie or TV they write it on the screen or for deaf people so they can watch TV and know what is being said.

It's for the hearing impaired who watch TV. They can read what is being said along the bottom of the screen.
