ABC5 WOI-DT Closed Captioning Station Contact Information

ABC5 WOI-DT Closed Captioning Station Contact Information

Closed captioning is an assistive technology for the hearing impaired that displays the audio portion of a television signal as printed words on the television screen. Closed captions are hidden as encoded data within the television signal, and a viewer wishing to see the captions must use a set-top decoder or a television with built-in decoder circuitry. Since July 1993, all television sets with screens 13 inches or larger have been manufactured with built-in decoder circuitry.

ABC5 WOI-DT broadcasts contain closed captioning.  If you experience problems with closed captioning on your television set, please contact us so that we can remedy the situation or provide assistance.  Please contact Randy Shelton, Director of Broadcast Operations at 515-457-9645 x108 Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM.   You may write to Randy Shelton, ABC5 WOI-DT, 3903 Westown Parkway, West Des Moines 50266 or send a fax to 515-457-1034,or by email to rshelton@myabc5.com  .

Please note that most of the programming on RTV5 is currently exempt from closed captioning rules.
