NBC’s news magazine “1986” has joined the ranks of prime-time programs that are captioned for the hearing impaired. The captioning process allows viewers who have purchased special decoding machines to see the program with subtitles. NBC is sharing the cost of having “1986” captioned with the Pew Memorial Trust.
