SRG: Services for the sensory impaired expanded
SRG's television stations also expanded their services for the hearing impaired last year.
A total of 15,333 hours or 26.2 percent were subtitled on the SF 1, SF zwei, SF info, TSR 1, TSR 2, RSI LA1 and RSI LA2 channels in 2009, SRG writes in a press release. In Switzerland as a whole, this corresponds to an increase of 59.4 percent. The strongest increase was recorded by sports programs.
In addition to the quantitative increase, there have also been other improvements for the hearing-impaired, SRG continues: primetime between 7pm and 10pm and all live broadcasts between midday and midnight are subtitled on all channels. SRG has also made progress with sign language broadcasts: since November 1, 2009, the main edition of the Tagesschau at 7.30 p.m. has been broadcast with sign language on the SF info channel.
