What provision has been made for visually and hearing impaired people?
All public service broadcast channels (BBC, ITV, Channel 4,Channel 5 and S4C) carried on digital terrestrial television must provide subtitling, sign language and audio description services. The Communications Act 2003, which came into force in January 2004, extends these requirements to digital cable and satellite services. More information about the targets can be found on the DCMS website at www.culture.gov.
