Closed captions are available on many of the VODs on this site. These captions only work with Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows and Microsoft's Windows Media Player.

If captions are available for a VOD, and your computer is able to show them, you will see an option for turning them on at the bottom of your media player window. When turning captions on or off, the video rebuffers, and starts from the beginning of the program.
