Why do some videos have closed captioning and others do not?

PBS KIDS is working to include closed captioning on as many videos as possible. At a minimum, PBS complies with the rules of the Federal Communications Commission requiring captioned programs shown on TV to be captioned when shown on the Internet. These rules cover full-length programming, but not consumer-generated media, video clips, outtakes, or content shown on the Internet that has not been shown on TV with captions after certain specified dates. We are happy to hear from you if you have suggestions or feedback on our online closed captioning efforts.
