RHODE ISLAND DEAF ASSOCIATION NEWS
The RIAD worked towards making all local news more accessible to Deaf and Hard of Hearing citizens of Rhode Island. This is only possible if all of these news broadcasts are close-captioned using real-time captioning technology. WJAR TV (Channel 10) in Providence now close-caption their evening news broadcasts using real-time close-captioning technology.  Other local television stations such as ABC6News recently started real-time captioning of their news broadcast.
