  • BBC News Subtitles

    From Jeff Gaines@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jan 7 18:30:04 2022
    Has the BBC just started to put subtitles on News 24?

    They have started to appear on my screen and I don't remember turning them
    on but may have I suppose, can't find how to turn them off though.

    If it's not broken, mess around with it until it is

    I've found the "off" switch thank goodness!

    I take full responsibility for what happened - that is why the person that
    was responsible went immediately.

    How (can) you turn off the signer? I find it quite distracting, plus
    is uses up screen space.

    This was sub-titles, not the signer. Bearing in mind the only way to turn
    them off was to find the original remote that was tucked in a drawer I
    imagine they turned on using ESP :-)

    I like the signers, they are so animated!

    Bit of cardboard and a bit of sticky tape and a string to move it?

    I thought they were a source of humour. I know the bbc have been asked to
    start to add audio to their interviews on news in foreign languages instead
    of just subtitles. Has anyone come across that as yet?

    I believe the signer is in the transmitted image. On the other hand, in
    terms of news, I believe that sometimes the same news is broadcast on
    different channels, with and without the signer.
