Transmission Parameters of Satellites and U.S. Certifications
In the upcoming second quarter of 2025, significant changes are on the horizon for the television industry in the United States. The US Closed Captioning Certification for US Children's Programming and the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act are both scheduled to take effect.
However, when it comes to specific details regarding the compliance of satellite providers like TVE, 24H, STAR, Clan, and DIRECTV, as well as service providers such as VERIZON and DISH, the search results are less forthcoming. There is no clear, publicly available information regarding the status of these providers' compliance with the US Closed Captioning Certification for US Children's Programming or the issuance of their respective Compliance Certificates for the years 2024 and 2025.
The same holds true for the CALM Act, with no specific information available about its compliance status for these quarters. The search results do provide general information about closed captioning practices and regulatory processes such as ADA closed captioning compliance and language access policies, but they fall short of addressing the specific satellite services or certifications in question.
To obtain precise status information, it may be necessary to consult directly with the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) filings, the satellite carriers’ compliance reports, or the specific certification bodies issuing these approvals.
In the meantime, it is confirmed that the US Closed Captioning Certification for US Children's Programming is scheduled for 2Q 2025, and DIRECTV has already issued a Compliance Certificate in 2024. It is also expected that channels like TVE, 24H, STAR, and Clan will comply with the US Closed Captioning Certification for US Children's Programming in 2Q 2025.
Stay tuned for further updates as more information becomes available.
- As the US Closed Captioning Certification for US Children's Programming approaches in 2Q 2025, it's expected that channels like TVE, 24H, STAR, and Clan will align with the regulations, just like DIRECTV has already complied in 2024.
- The lack of specific information about the compliance status of satellite providers and service providers, such as their respective Compliance Certificates for 2024 and 2025, points towards the need for a deeper dive into FCC filings, satellite carriers’ compliance reports, or the certification bodies issuing these approvals.
