WIN Television has been found to have breached captioning rules for two episodes of
NCIS broadcast in November 2019.
An investigation by the Australian Communications & Media Authority followed a complaint that the captioning service provided during two episodes was inadequate.
“There was insufficient captioning of 2 episodes of NCIS even after I phoned to notify station, there was no improvement. I was unable to follow storyline at all. This also means that there is no communal enjoyment of television with my family causing a sense of isolation in my own home,” -viewer complaint.
Audio-visual copies of program content are used by the ACMA to determine whether broadcasts comply with industry rules. But when requested for copies of the broadcasts, WIN TV provided low-resolution audio-visual files that were insufficient to ascertain compliance with captioning rules.
