Have you noticed how bad the closed captions are on ABC on primetime?

Question

They run the captions at the top of the screen and they get all jumbled. Most networks only put the closed captions at the top while they are running the preshow credits, then move them to the bottom for the duration of the program.

Why does ABC do this? It cuts off the actors heads! lots of times, I don't know who is saying what line.

Answer 1

captioning is done by voice these days so things are typed by a computer how they sound phonetically so it doesn't always make sense.
it's pretty funny though

Answer 2

Relax they are not the only culprits, other stations do the same thing at times.
