Abstract
Now that real-time captioning is available, the benefits of captioning have dramatically increased. It is possible to watch live news while it is still news and to witness current events while they are still current. Television's potential to educate and inform, as well as to entertain, is finally available to hearing-impaired and hearing persons at the same time.
