Cable companies had a lot of years to come up with a closed captionings system...

Most of them tried something already. They had weeded out the junk. So early this year Comcast switched on a channel wide system the damn thing is either on top of or under neath any other text, station ID, text boxes, translations rather than where all the other closed captioning had run. Ads, shows counted on that being so.

America the stupidly lame.

1. Cable spent so long as a monopoly

that there is no one at the top who knows how to think in a competitive environment. I cut my cable last year, now instead of paying dozens of dollars a month for commercial-ridden programming, I get it for free with an antenna.
