Just checking CNN, MSNBC, FoxNews and ESPN on TV. CNN and ESPN display CC at the top and the rest display CC above the ticker.
Bald Eagle, yeah I agree with you about the cut-off when it's a commercial time after news reporting. I was like "Whoa, what happened to the bad guy? Hunted, caught or dead?". Annoying!
DeafDucky, I also think that someday we can choose a placement for CC since we can change a color, font type and size so why not a placement? Computer technology can make it happen.
I don't have the stations listed in the part I have added the bold to. But, for the stations I do get with an OTA antenna the placement of the captions varies depending on what is on.
