NBC 5 currently offers closed captioning on certain programming to our hearing-impaired and Spanish-language viewers. Closed Captioning 1 (CC1) is English-language and Closed Captioning 2 (CC2) is Spanish-language captioning.
The closed captioning service is a TV menu generated element.
To turn captioning on or off, activate your TV menu "set up" screen and under the “Captioning” option select "On" or “Off”. If you need further assistance, please refer to your TV owner’s manual.
